The record over time (1)
Dated source checks and published explanations. An observation date can differ from the original release date.
DigUp builds a local search index so you can find files by what they mean, even when you forget the filename. The current README lists Apple Silicon macOS support and Windows/Linux beta paths, with an initial model download. This can help people with large personal document collections. The repository and maker discussion were read October 16. Installation, search quality and network behavior were not tested; the local-processing claim comes from the maker.
