Guace

Guace provides a local-first personal knowledge base for macOS users, integrating diverse file types into a unified searchable library. Key features include: • Browse and query notes, PDFs, webpages, images, and code • Get answers with direct source context • Save useful information back to ordinary files • Delegate heavier tasks to specialized coding or content generation services This application transforms your disparate local files into an interconnected knowledge base, allowing you to ask questions across various formats and inspect the original source alongside the generated answer. It supports common file types without requiring conversion to markdown, ensuring your existing library remains intact and accessible. The system also tracks delegated work, providing transcripts and workspace paths for full auditability. Guace is designed for individuals whose knowledge is primarily stored in local files. It operates directly on top of your existing folders and allows you to bring your own providers and keys, routing requests to your configured backend. This flexible approach ensures that your data remains under your control and gives you transparency into usage, including token counts and model costs. Perfect for researchers, developers, writers, and anyone managing a large personal archive of documents and information. It simplifies information retrieval and follow-up tasks, making your digital assets more productive.
