Stella
Local natural language search across all your files
About Stella
Stella is a powerful local search tool designed for Mac users who need quick and accurate retrieval of files based on natural language descriptions. Unlike traditional filename-based searches, Stella understands your natural language queries like 'my cheat sheet for the final exam' or 'the product spec from last week's meeting,' and swiftly locates the relevant files on your device. Its seamless integration with your Mac allows users to drag files directly into Gmail, open them instantly, or launch any app from a unified search bar, making it an all-in-one productivity enhancer. The tool emphasizes privacy, requiring no account creation and ensuring all searches are conducted locally, which is ideal for users prioritizing security. Its user-friendly approach, combined with its ability to handle poorly named files, makes it suitable for students, professionals, and anyone managing large quantities of documents on their Mac.
