Trawl indexes everything on your Mac — files, photos, videos, browser history, clipboard, voice memos — and lets you search by meaning instead of filenames or keywords. A small on-device AI model reads what things are about, so search works offline and nothing uploads. It reconstructs your day hour-by-hour (what you watched, read, copied, opened), and a $20 one-time payment buys it for life on Apple silicon Macs.
What holds up
- +One-time $20, not a subscription — pay once and keep it forever on your Mac.
- +Runs fully on-device: 0 files uploaded, works offline, nothing leaves your Mac.
- +Reconstructs a whole day from scattered apps and browsers into one timeline.
Mind the limits
- −macOS 26+ on Apple silicon only — Windows or older/Intel Mac users can't run it.
- −Needs explicit permission to read Mail, Messages and Notes — some data stays out until you allow it.
