DigUp brings on-device search to local files and code
DigUp is a free, open-source desktop app that searches local documents, images, recordings, video and source code without uploading files to a hosted service. It runs Google DeepMind's EmbeddingGemma 2 via llama.cpp and stores 768-dimensional vectors in a SQLite index, combining semantic retrieval with exact keyword matching.
- EmbeddingGemma 2 runs locally via llama.cpp; initial model download is 865 MB
- Code search is a separate opt-in index requiring the code: prefix
- Builds target macOS (Apple Silicon, macOS 14+), Windows and Linux
- First indexing pass can take minutes to hours depending on files
