Shlexball: Find files on your Mac by describing them
Shlexball finds files on your Mac from a plain-English description. It searches file names and text inside PDFs and Word files. Try 30 free searches.
It all runs locally; files are never uploaded. First setup downloads about 3.1 GB of model files. On 312 unseen file requests, Shlexball passed 308 of 312 tests. With plurals, 312 unseen tests: Shlexball 308, Gemini 3.8 Flash 295, Gemma 4 31B 264, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite 250 (comparison models with 30 worked examples). Search matches whole words, so a search for “invoice” misses a file that only says “invoices”.
