bodle.aiPowered by open-source AI — runs entirely on your hardware
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
bodle.ai is deliberately simple — a tiny tray icon, a search bar, and results that actually make sense.
100% Private
Every search, every result stays on your machine. No data is ever sent to the cloud. bodle.ai works completely offline.
Semantic Search
Ask in plain English — "find that budget spreadsheet from Q3" — and bodle.ai understands what you mean, not just keywords.
Instant Results
Files are indexed once in the background. After that, every query returns ranked results in milliseconds.
All Your File Types
PDFs, Word docs, Excel sheets, PowerPoints, plain text, Markdown, emails (.msg / .eml) and more — all searchable.
Email Search
Search Outlook .msg files and standard .eml archives the same way you search documents. Find any thread, attachment or sender.
Watches Your Folders
Drop a file into a watched folder and it's indexed within seconds. bodle.ai stays in the system tray and keeps itself up to date.
Supported file types
Up and running
in three steps.
Install & point at folders
Download the installer, run it, and choose which folders to watch — your Documents, OneDrive, network drives, wherever your files live.
bodle.ai indexes in the background
A local AI embedding model reads and understands every file. The index lives entirely on your drive — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Ask anything
Type a question in plain English. Results are ranked by relevance, not just filename matches. Click any result to open it.
Your data is yours. Always.
bodle.ai has no analytics, no telemetry, and no account required. The AI models run on your CPU or GPU. The index is stored in a local database on your drive. We genuinely cannot see your files — the architecture makes it impossible.
