Find documents, images, and files by name, content, or meaning. Just describe what you're looking for.
Agent Ransack excels at exact text and regex pattern matching. FileScope understands what you mean. Search for "project budget summary" and find relevant spreadsheets, even if those exact words aren't in the file.
FileScope includes built-in OCR that extracts text from screenshots, scanned documents, photos of whiteboards, and receipts. Agent Ransack does not support image text recognition.
Press Ctrl+Space from anywhere to open FileScope's search bar. No need to open an application, choose folders, or configure search parameters. Just type and find. Agent Ransack requires opening its window and setting up each search manually.
Find files by what you remember, not what you named them.
