StackDrop

StackDrop is a desktop app that lets you search your local documents by file name and document content.

For Users

Download for Windows

Download the latest Windows installer here:

https://github.com/ChimdumebiNebolisa/StackDrop/releases/latest

Open the .exe installer, follow the setup steps, then launch StackDrop.

What StackDrop does

• Searches documents on your computer
• Indexes common folders like Documents, Desktop, and Downloads
• Lets you add more folders
• Searches inside supported files, not just file names
• Ranks results by relevance (file name matches first, then path, then content)
• Highlights matching text in search results
• Works locally on your computer
• Does not require an account
• Does not upload your files to the cloud
• Does not delete, rename, or move your files

Supported files

• .txt
• .pdf
• .docx
• .doc

Notes

• Scanned PDFs may take longer because StackDrop can use local OCR.
• Background indexing works while StackDrop is open.
• The Windows installer is unsigned, so Windows may show a warning.
