DigUp is a free, open-source desktop app that lets you search files on your computer by describing what you're looking for in plain language—finding photos, PDFs, videos, and audio by meaning rather than filename. It uses Google DeepMind's EmbeddingGemma 2 model to understand text, images, audio, and video across 100+ languages, and everything runs locally on your machine with no cloud uploads or tracking.

• Searches across multiple file types (images, PDFs, documents, audio, video) in a single query, matching both semantic meaning and exact strings like invoice numbers or error codes
• The 740M-parameter EmbeddingGemma 2 model runs entirely on your computer—all indexing stays local, with only one-time model download and optional daily update checks
• Includes code search that can find functions by what they do ("retry a failed call with backoff") or by name, opening results directly in your editor at the correct line
• Initial indexing takes minutes to hours depending on file volume, then new files become searchable within seconds
