Spyglass is a cross-platform desktop personal search engine that crawls and indexes your local documents, saved web content, and connected services (GitHub, Google Drive, Reddit, Calendar) into a fast, private searchable library. It is built in Rust with Tauri and the Tantivy search library.
Use cases
- search my personal documents locally
- build a private search index of websites I care about
- avoid SEO spam when searching the web
- search my GitHub stars and Reddit saves
- index my Google Drive docs for offline search
- create a personal wiki and docs search library
When to choose
- you want a private, local-first search index of your own files and saved web content
- you want to cut through SEO spam by searching curated sources
- you want a cross-platform desktop app with no cloud dependency
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the project is no longer in active development
- you need a hosted or multi-user search solution
- you need Gmail or YouTube indexing, which were never completed
