A Personal Search Engine

Search anything you view on the web or your computer. APSE is A Personal Search Engine for your computing life.

APSE is different from other search engines

APSE works by taking screenshots of your monitor, and storing the image and text in your search index.

Relevant To You

APSE only captures what you see on your screen. No wading through spam and irrelevant results.

One-Stop Shop

Where did I see that? APSE searches everything. Messages, web content, local documents, and more - all in one spot.

Privacy First

No tracking, no cloud, no ads. Your data stays on your computer.


Any website, any file, any format

Websites, emails, private messages, local files, video - APSE works with it all. If you can view it, APSE can recall it.

OCR-powered

APSE OCRs your screen to find things Google can't - files, email, chats, social media...

Fully Customizable

You control what to capture, how often, what to retain, for how long.

Advanced Search

Search for exact phrases, optional keywords, date ranges, or wildcards.

Go incognito

Snapshots can be paused or restarted with the click of a button. Snapshots can be manually triggered if that's more your style.

Cross-platform

Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Mobile supported for business users.

Firefox support

Apse works with any browser, but the official Firefox extension lets you manually capture snapshots from Firefox.
