By meaning
Type "a dog on the beach" and get the photo, with no tags and no file names to remember. It works in more than 100 languages.
For Windows 10 and 11 · free
Describe it. Find it.
Glint searches the files on your computer by what's in them: a photo by what it shows, a PDF by what a page says, a recording or a video by the moment. Everything runs on your PC.
powershell -c "irm https://glint.nhaajt.com/install.ps1 | iex"

Ctrl Shift Space opens it from any app
One search for every kind of file
To the page, to the second
A result opens where it matched: the PDF at page 3, the video at the moment the zebra walks in. A strip shows every matching moment.
Text inside pictures
Windows reads the words in screenshots and scans, so an error code or a booking number is found exactly as written.
Search by example
Drop or paste a picture, or press Tab on a result, and Glint finds what looks or reads like it.
Filters you type
kind:video in:Downloads ext:pdf after:30d "exact words" -word
Accents optional
"hoa don tien dien" finds "Hóa đơn tiền điện tháng 10". A map of everything by meaning and a list of near-duplicates come with it.
Nothing you index leaves your computer
The model that understands your files is a small one that runs on your own PC. Glint goes online once, to download it (865 MB). After that it works offline. No account, no telemetry.
- Only reads your files. Never changes, moves or uploads them.
- Skips keys, certificates, password files, hidden and system folders.
- In a code project it reads only screenshots.
- Installs for your user only. No administrator rights.

The installer
