I really like this idea! I definitely think this product has some potential. A few quick questions:

1. Does this integrate with the filesystem (specifically with MacOS) or iCloud Drive? 2. Are there any future plans to integrate with iMessage? While perhaps less important to enterprises, I feel like this could be very useful for “prosumer” productivity tool users like myself. 3. Are there any future plans for a mobile app (specifically on iPhone).

I’m excited to try this product out. Congrats on your launch!!

Yes! We integrate with Local, though iCloud is much more locked down. We can index local files that are then offloaded to iCloud, but can't directly index iCloud.

iMessage is something we've explored, also locked down like iCloud with no API but there are some workarounds by using what's locally stored. No plans for a mobile app, though or web app works surprisingly well on mobile https://app.needl.tech/.

If more stuff comes up as you're using Needl, would love more of your thoughts and feedback. Can always reach me at max@needl.tech
