In the workshop
Searches your own documents on a computer too small to run anything else.

Offline retrieval for low-power hardware — the cleanest code in the workshop, and free forever.
Ask a question about your own files — notes, letters, manuals — and get back the exact bit that answers it.
The clever part is where it runs: an old laptop, a tiny computer, something with no internet at all. Most search tools this smart need a room full of machines.
Offline CPU-only retrieval-augmented search for low-power hardware. 1,061 lines: lazy imports with stated reasons, frozen dataclasses, type hints, and docstrings that explain intent rather than restating the signature.
1,061 lines CPU only no network required
The claim being made here is about code quality, not benchmarks — so the proof is the source itself, which is public and short enough to read in one sitting.
The offline-search space is crowded and mostly free, so pretending otherwise would be a bad-faith price tag. It stays on this page because it is the single best code sample in the workshop. If you want to know how the rest of this stuff is written, read this one.
