Could you build this?
Partial Local semantic desktop search requires multimodal local embedding pipelines (CLIP, Whisper, OCR, tree-sitter) optimized for memory and battery in a native language like Rust.
What it would actually take: Architecture consists of a native Rust daemon using inotify for file watching, local inference runtimes (e.g. ONNX Runtime / candle) running Whisper for audio, OCR for images/PDFs, and CLIP for images, storing vectors in an embedded vector database like sqlite-vec or Tantivy. The hard part is managing hardware acceleration and resource throttling so indexing doesn't freeze the user's desktop.
