Indexa
Indexa is an offline-first desktop app that works as a catalog and memory for your drives (internal/external SSDs and HDDs), designed to help you find files and projects even when a drive is disconnected. The app indexes metadata locally only (name, path, size, dates, type), without copying file contents and without using cloud services or accounts. Once a volume is indexed, you can keep searching by name, filter results, browse the folder structure, and immediately see which drive contains a file and whether that volume is currently mounted. It includes volume management, an explorer, advanced search, tags, notes, and tools to organize very large archives while keeping the database lightweight and fast. It is now launched and available.
I handled the complete development of Indexa, from UI/UX design to the React + Vite frontend and the cross-platform desktop layer with Tauri. I developed the backend in Rust with a local SQLite database, designing the volume scanning/indexing system, metadata catalog, and offline search engine. I implemented volume management (mounted/unmounted state), explorer-style navigation, advanced filters, and performance optimizations for very large archives. The app was designed to run locally and reliably on both macOS and Windows.
