Reminds me of Greplin / Cue, which Apple bought

What is your monetization plan if it’s currently free? Looks great, but bills need to be paid!
Please consider eventually supporting Fastmail’s JMAP protocol (which they designed as a successor to IMAP).
Edit: https://jmap.io/
Is the source code available somewhere? I really like the app but feel a bit odd about running something with this much access that isn't open source.
I _really_ like this idea.

This is very, very unimportant - but the build in your demo video on the site has a typo in the application name, "Selectirc" instead of "Selectric" (seen in the menu bar)
Reminds me of a modern macOS version of “Everything” for windows. Love the concept!
It would be interesting if there was an option to add additional devices, such as a MacBook or iPhone, and search across all of them at once.
Alternatively if you want to preserve isolation perhaps a mobile app would suffice.
If you built an interface that we could plug other platforms into, I could see that being helpful, akin to what raycast has done with their extensions.
Looks good! Please add either fastmail api or generic imap crawling to your list. :-) Perhaps you could also add support for some kind of generic webhook, or provide an sdk, so that we can add our own custom datasources quickly and easily? You could even licence the sdk in such a way that any implementation was required to be republished...
Can anyone vouch for the privacy and overall trustworthiness of the team? I really love this concept and want to install it immediately!
Good luck on the launch! Do you plan more connectors? Would love to see Teams, onedrive etc
I wonder how these apps secure the “indexed” data on device. These on-device databases are probably ripe for exfiltration by malware to get all of your juicy details in a neat, formatted table/database format.
I searched for the name of the company I'm talking with in my next meeting and it gave me a recipe for rice? Company name was unrelated to rice!
Could this be a plugin for Alfred? https://www.alfredapp.com/
If I'm not mistaken, selectric is the name of an Emacs package that adds sound(s?) when you type from some IBM (?) Selectric typewriter.
I'm surprised spotlight, with the exception of Slack, doesn't just do this fine enough. What was so frustrating?
Congrats on the launch! this looks interesting, but how is it different from raycast's search / alfred?
How does the slack integration work? Do we need anything on the Slack side?
FYI your Discord invite link in the bottom right corner is invalid!
Any plans to add support for the macOS Mail app?
Discord link is broken.
Interestingly, both IBM and Lexmark trademarks on Selectric™ are dead or expired, and other marks don't conflict.
You likely want to file to claim this.

In the 90's there was 'Google Desktop' which can do such things.
Still miss it.
