Built for privacy. Built for speed.

Your files never leave your machine. Busco builds a local index so search is instant — no internet required.

Local-first indexing

Busco reads your files once, learns what's inside each one, and saves that knowledge privately on your device.

Search by what's inside

Your search is matched against everything Busco knows about your files, so you find the right file however you remember it.

Your data stays yours

Your files and your index stay entirely on your device. No uploads. No cloud.

Works where you work.

Use Busco from the terminal, pipe results into scripts, or let Claude search your files on your behalf — all on-device.
