Semantra is a command-line tool that semantically indexes text and PDF documents and launches a local web application for querying them by meaning. It is designed to be easy, configurable, and private, running entirely on the user's machine.

Use cases

  • search pdf documents by meaning instead of keywords
  • semantically search a collection of text files locally
  • sift through leaked documents on deadline as a journalist
  • query themes across research papers or books
  • build a private semantic search engine without cloud services
  • interactively explore document collections in a local web interface

When to choose

  • you need semantic search over local text or PDF files with a friendly UI
  • privacy matters and you want everything running locally
  • you want a one-command setup for a specialized search engine

When to avoid

  • you need a scalable production search service for many users
  • you only need simple keyword/full-text search
  • you need to index non-text formats like images or audio
