FAQ

Q: Does it send my files to the cloud? No. Everything is indexed and searched locally on your machine. No data is ever uploaded.

Q: What is AI Search? AI Search uses a local AI model (via Ollama) to understand the meaning of your search query, not just keywords. For example, searching "photos from my trip to Paris" will find relevant image files even if they're named IMG_4521.jpg.

Q: Do I need Ollama for the app to work? No. Ollama is only needed for AI semantic search (ai: prefix). All other features work without it.

Q: What happens when my license expires? You'll revert to the Free plan. All your files and settings remain intact — you just lose access to Pro/Premium features until you renew.

Q: Can I use one license on multiple PCs? Each license key is tied to one machine. Contact us for multi-device pricing.

Q: Is the Free plan really free forever? Yes. The Free plan has no time limit and no trial period. Use it as long as you want.
