OmniFile

OmniFile — Search Everything, From Anywhere

OmniFile is a privacy-first desktop search app for Windows and macOS that finds any file in seconds — across your local drives and every cloud service you use. Instead of jumping between Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, and your hard drive, you search once and OmniFile instantly returns matching results from all of them in a single, lightning-fast window.

What is OmniFile?

OmniFile is a unified file search tool built on a local full-text search engine (Tantivy). It indexes your documents on-device so you can instantly find files by name or by the text inside them. Press a global hotkey, type what you remember, and open the right file — no folders to dig through and no browser tabs to open.

Who is OmniFile for?

OmniFile is made for developers, researchers, consultants, writers, and knowledge workers who store files in many places and lose time hunting for them. If you have ever thought "I know I saved this somewhere," OmniFile is for you.

Key features

• Unified search across local files plus Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, OneDrive, Slack, Notion, and GitHub.

• Full-text search that looks inside documents, code, and text files — not just file names.

• Privacy by design: indexing happens locally on your own machine, and your files and their contents are never uploaded to OmniFile's servers.

• Blazing fast: results appear as you type, powered by the Tantivy search engine.

• Cross-platform: native desktop apps for both Windows and macOS, with the same shortcuts and experience on each.

• Secure cloud connectors using OAuth — connect once and search your entire workspace.

Pricing

OmniFile is free for unlimited local file search, with no file-count limits. The Pro plan is a one-time $129 lifetime license (no subscription) that unlocks all cloud integrations, workspaces, and advanced filters. Every purchase is backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can try OmniFile Pro risk-free.

Use cases

• Find a contract buried in Google Drive and the related Slack message in a single search.

• Jump to a code file across all of your GitHub repositories by name.

• Pull up a Notion page, a Dropbox PDF, and a local spreadsheet about the same project at once.
