Search in Memni
Search a phrase you remember or describe what the passage was about. Memni shows the relevant text beside every result, so you can recognize the right document before opening it.
Ways to search
Search words on the page, words inside scans, or transcripts from meetings. Describe what you remember when the exact wording is gone.
Use words from the document or describe what it was about. You do not need the filename.
Make English and Finnish text inside image-only PDFs and common image files searchable, right on your computer.
Install local transcription, then choose Transcribe for an audio or video item. Its spoken words become searchable alongside documents.
See the relevant text beside the result before opening the original file.
Filter by file type, date, folder, tags, or your own fields, then save the search for later.
What one search can uncover
One question can lead to an email, a spreadsheet, a signed form, and the document that settled it. Memni brings the relevant passages into one result view, even when the files live in different folders and use different wording.

What you remember
“Why did the June drone route move offshore?”
What the documents reveal
The team had to stay 500 metres away from an occupied eagle nest, so the route moved about 620 metres offshore.
Wildlife permit. The eagle-nest rule that blocked the original route.
Team email. Why flying higher would not solve the problem.
Route plan. Where the new route moved and what detail it would lose.

See the rule, the changed plan, and proof that the team followed it.
Beyond the search box
Start with a broad clue, narrow the results to the files that matter, and save the search for next time. Add the tags and details your folders never captured.
Scans and related wording
Meetings become searchable
Choose Transcribe for an audio or video item. Memni makes its spoken words searchable with your documents, and the work stays on your computer.
Multilingual search
Choose English for an English-only library, Multilingual or Multilingual+ to search documents in many languages, or bring your own compatible local model. Every library can use the model that fits its contents.
Your folders still work
Keep files in the folders you already use or let Memni keep saved copies. Either way, search works across the whole library.
Add a folder and search its files without moving them into a new filing system.
Choose saved copies for a library that carries its own documents.
Watch a folder and new files become searchable as they arrive.
Pause, resume, and retry files that need attention instead of starting over.

Planned for the public release
Let a compatible assistant search Memni and read matching passages when you allow it. The assistant receives search results, not your entire library.
Protect a library and every file copied into it with a passphrase you choose.
Your computer does the work
Memni reads documents and scans, prepares them for search, and finds matches on your computer.
Windows comes first, with macOS and Linux later.
