Description
Type a few letters and see every place a file, folder, web page or open tab lives: your disk, USB and network drives, cloud folders and every browser. It asks before it looks, never connects to the internet, and lets you verify that live.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a simple multi-drive file search is easy, but reading open browser tabs across different browsers without native extensions and performing near-instant cross-volume search locally requires deep OS-level integration.
What it would actually take: The app needs a low-level desktop client (e.g., Rust or C++) that taps into OS-level file system indexes like Windows USN Journal or macOS FSEvents/Spotlight APIs. Inspecting open browser tabs locally requires querying accessibility APIs (UI Automation/AXUIElement) or reading SQLite session stores from multiple browser directories. Achieving instant, privacy-respecting offline search across attached media requires custom multi-threaded crawler daemons and fast in-memory indexing.
