Fenn is an AI-driven local file search tool designed for Mac users. Its core strength lies in the integration of artificial intelligence technology to achieve in-depth content retrieval while strictly protecting user privacy. Compared to traditional search tools like Spotlight, which comes with Mac, Fenn has the following significant differences:
- Content-level search capabilities: not only match the file name, but also recognize PDF text, video scenes, pictures OCR text and other internal contents of the file
- Offline working mode: All data processing is done locally and does not rely on network connections or cloud services, eliminating the risk of privacy leakage.
- Multimedia UnderstandingSupport for video clip localization (e.g., search for "speech opening" to jump directly to the corresponding point in time) and image content recognition.
- Hardware Adaptation OptimizationOptimized for Apple Silicon chips (M1/M2), search speed is significantly higher than traditional tools.
The tool currently supports macOS 11 and above, and is especially suitable for designers, video creators and other professional users who need to work with a large number of multimedia files.
