Description
Garage is a free, open-source Mac app that turns the files you already have into a searchable library for your AI assistant. It indexes folders, git repositories, PDFs, Office documents, scanned images, Apple Mail and Messages into a private database on your Mac, and keyword search over the Model Context Protocol. Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, LM Studio and any other MCP client can connect with one click. Garage uploads nothing: your assistant receives only the excerpts it searches for.
