Vector is a Spotlight search replacement that uses on-device ML to determine exactly what you want to see with natural language. Ask your files and iMessage database questions and get answers instantly. All on-device. No more cloud storage options pretending to change how you view your files. Searching apps takes first priority and is deterministic. You will always search for exactly what you want and never have things change unexpectedly as you type. It can also search for weather, maps, Wikipedia, contacts, and your calendar with natural language. It also comes with a built in clipboard manager and emoji picker.

Comment highlights

How does Vector differ from Spotlight/Alfred? Do you support natural‑language queries and custom actions, and can it be triggered with a global hotkey

Cool launch, Vector team! Vector search is one of those technical problems that’s overdue for simplification. What’s the first use case you hope someone explores and says, “Wow, I never built that this simply before”? Excited to see where you take this.
