Master Your Local Files with Dhito
TL;DR
Dhito transforms local file management on macOS with five key capabilities: search by memory (not filenames), chat with documents using local LLMs, automatic audio/video transcription, AI-powered smart file renaming, and 100% privacy with zero cloud dependency.
Local file search is often the most frustrating part of using a computer. You remember a detail—"that blue PDF about solar panels"—but you don't remember the filename. Traditional file search fails you.
Dhito changes that. Here is what you can do with your new local AI assistant:
1. Search by Memory, Not Metadata
Stop trying to remember if it was "Final_v2.doc" or "Project_Notes_April.pdf". Just type what you remember. Dhito indexes the *meaning* of your files. Searching for "hiking in France" will bring up your vacation photos and your trip itinerary document instantly.

Search files by conceptual meaning, not just filenames
2. Chat with Your Documents
Once you find that 50-page research paper, you don't have to read the whole thing. Open the Chat interface and ask: "What are the three main conclusions of this study?" Dhito will summarize it for you using local AI that never leaves your machine.

3. Automatic Media Transcripts
Have a recording of a long meeting or a video tutorial? Dhito transcribes audio and video files automatically in the background. You can then search for specific phrases spoken in the video and jump straight to that timestamp. It also samples frames as it indexes, captioning them and reading any on-screen text, so you can find the moment a diagram or a slide appeared even in a tutorial where the narrator never named it.

4. Smart Organization
If your downloads folder is a mess of "IMG_8821.jpg" and "Screenshot_2024.png", Dhito can suggest descriptive filenames based on what is actually in the image. "Sunset_at_Lake_Tahoe.jpg" is much easier to find later.
5. Privacy Without Compromise
The best part? Every single one of these features runs 100% locally on your machine. No cloud provider to sign up for, no per-token billing, and no data mining — Dhito collects no file contents, no filenames and no search queries. Your files stay yours.

All files remain secure and indexed on your machine locally
