Indexing everything locally with Tantivy while still covering Slack, Notion, and GitHub search is a good privacy tradeoff, most unified search tools just ship a cloud index by default.

Thanks for the thoughtful read — that tradeoff was exactly the design goal.

Small clarification: local files go into a Tantivy index on your machine, and the cloud sources (Slack, Notion, GitHub, Drive, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint) are queried live through their APIs straight from the app. So there's no server in the middle and no cloud copy of your index anywhere — OAuth tokens stay local too.

Happy to hear what sources you'd want covered next.
