Interesting, what sorts of custom datasources would you connect if you could do so?

Thank you for the feedback! IMAP is high on our list of TODO integrations. Custom datasources is also something we want to eventually build support for, as we get more widely adopted.

I found Spotlight's integration with Drive hit and miss, and Gmail didn't work at all for me because I don't use the macOS Mail client. I also have multiple accounts (work, personal) and couldn't find a way to search across all of them. There are also other services which folks on this list and others have asked for (Teams keeps coming up for example) which lack any integration.

We've started off focusing on search but will evolve over time to tackle other productivity drains and busywork in the modern office (think excessive meetings, form filling, timesheets, updates - basically everything we hated when we worked 9 to 5!). We plan to keep the search experience free and (hopefully) add enough value with these add-ons that people and companies consider paying us for them

Thanks for the tip on JMAP. I'm not familiar with the protocol but will look into it

Ah understood. I'm not familiar with the mbox format but from a quick search it looks like they're text files so should be easy enough to build support for. Let me test this and get back

Good callout! Paperwork is in progress

Should be fixed now - https://discord.com/invite/R63PTQ6CFh

Turns out you have to jump a couple of hoops to create a Discord link which never expires. Should be fixed now, thanks for flagging!

Thanks for bringing this up. We store the index encrypted on disk with a randomly generated key. The key is itself stored in the Keychain.

Very weird. It was working a couple of hours back when I tested it. Second time this is happening to me with Discord. Here's a fresh link and I'll update the site (after troubleshooting this a bit more) - https://discord.gg/R63PTQ6CFh

Understood, we'll look into this. Thank you!

Got it, Thank you. It's quite the hallucination, we'll continue looking into ways to keep the model on task! Please keep the feedback coming, these small models behave a bit differently from their large, cloud hosted counterparts.

If you have a minute, are you able to share a screenshot at adityaATwasudeo.com? I'd love to take a look at this.

Edit: We also have a discord if that's easier - https://discord.com/invite/RbYYU6mU

Great catch, Thank you! We'll fix that.

It is! It mimics the sound of the Selectric typewriter (itself a classic product design masterpiece IMO)

Do you mean iCloud mail? We looked into it but Apple unfortunately does not support an API for it. Another potential option could be using IMAP but we haven't looked at it just yet.

Great feedback Jack, thank you for taking the time to review and write this! We'll address these points on the site as well. For folks following this thread, this is me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adityawasudeo/

On monetization, it's still early days but one thing we're clear about is not building an advertising product or adopting any business models which rely on accessing or trading user data. Our philosophy is more on the lines that we'd rather not have any access to user data or identity to avoid legal/regulatory complexity!

Our ambition is to incrementally tackle the various time sinks knowledge workers face at work (finding information, paperwork, meeting hell etc.) - basically the same nonsense we personally endured for years in Big Tech! If we do that competently I'm optimistic that companies and people will value the productivity gains enough for us to make a half decent living.

Nothing needed on the Slack side. Login with your Slack credentials through the OAUTH flow, grant access to your workspace and it'll start crawling. Drop me a mail on adityaATwasudeo.com or discord (https://discord.com/invite/RbYYU6mU) in case you run into any problems.

Same here!

Thank you! We're different in a couple of ways: 1) In addition to local files, we also support your cloud accounts - Gmail, Drive, Outlook, OneDrive, Slack, Dropbox (for now). IIRC Raycast file explorer currently crawls your local computer but please correct me if I'm misinformed 2) I touched upon this in another reply. All data we crawl and index is stored on your local computer alone. We also run our AI models locally so no data ever needs to leave.

I can vouch for the fact that we don't have access to any of your data! From your perspective, what's a good proof point you would like to see?

I took a look at Alfred Workflows when we were first starting to build this a few months back but couldn't figure out a way to implement the local crawling and indexing functionality esp. for online services. The alternative would have been indexing and storing data on the cloud but we wanted to prioritize privacy. We wouldn't use a service which crawled our personal data and stored it in the cloud so it didn't seem fair to ask anyone else to do so!

Absolutely, we already support Onedrive and will look into adding Teams support next. Any other connectors which you'd find useful?

@vinnymac, Thanks for the feedback

1) Additional devices (not to mention Windows support) is high on our todo list. We have some ideas on how do it in a privacy safe way. Our plan is to pick that up once we know the baseline search experience works well for people. 2) Interface to onboard other platforms - great idea! Out of curiosity, what other platforms/services would you personally want to see added?
