Summary

Spool is a local search engine designed to index and instantly search personal data, including AI conversations (Claude, Codex), GitHub stars, and bookmarks from over 50 platforms. It targets developers and power users of AI tools, offering a unified, private search experience that keeps all data on the user's machine.

How It Works

Spool indexes AI session directories and online bookmarks into a local search index powered by SQLite with FTS5. It watches AI session directories in real-time and integrates with over 50 platforms via OpenCLI for bookmark capture. A key advantage is its "nothing leaves" philosophy, ensuring all data processing and storage remain strictly local for enhanced privacy and speed.

Quick Start & Requirements

The primary installation method for macOS/Apple Silicon is via a bash script: curl -fsSL https://spool.pro/install.sh | bash. Alternatively, users can build from source by installing pnpm and running pnpm install followed by pnpm build. The resulting DMG will be located in packages/app/dist/.
