Show HN: Omni – Local-first multimodal file search on macOS

5 pointsby artex_xhyesterday at 11:20 PM1 commentview on HN

Finally made something I've always wanted, using the model we built.

• SOTA omni embedding model, fully local, indexes text, PDF, image, audio, and video • Swift-native app UI + mlx-swift-transformer core. No Python. • Tested on M3 Pro 18G / M3 Ultra 512G / M4 Pro 48G. All work fine. • HTTP server exposes search to local agents like OpenClaw & Hermes − Indexing still feels slow even on the latest M3 Ultra, ranging from 10K tps to 300 tps depending on file type − Fans go crazy, high power draw while indexing − Search is near-instant. Multimodal relevance is sometimes arguable, but the idea is recall (the agentic LLM takes the results and refines for the final answer), so maybe that's fine

No joke about the indexing feeling slow. Could that be run as a lower priority task? handy app!
