Loupe searches your Mac by what files contain
An on-device Mac search tool for finding PDFs, scans, photos, screenshots, and office files by their contents rather than their filenames.
Field notes
Loupe describes a local indexing workflow for files whose useful identity is trapped inside their contents: OCR reads scans and photographed pages, while image description covers material such as whiteboards and screenshots. The page shows result rows with paths, file kinds, sizes, modification dates, and detected types, plus actions to open or reveal a file. It also advertises multilingual search and an offline model, but the product is currently presented as coming soon rather than as an openly downloadable application.
