The End of Finding. The Beginning of Knowing.
Features
Meanings, Not Filenames.
Search for "Q3 revenue report" and find it, even if it's named finance_2024_v3.xlsx. Stella understands what your documents are about.
No Cloud. No Trace.
Everything runs on your machine. No telemetry, no accounts, no data leaves your device — not even temporarily. A completely private search engine.
What Spotlight Wishes It Was.
Spotlight searches filenames. Stella reads your documents and understands what they're about. PDFs, notes, spreadsheets — searchable by meaning, not metadata.
Free. No Strings.
No subscription. No freemium tiers. No account required. Works offline, on a plane, off-grid — your library is always searchable.
