Yeah, I'd love an app on Windows that can index text files, images, and pdfs recursively through a directory.

Same - I kicked the tired with "Image Scan OCR" from the windows app store I think.. it can do a whole folder (batch process) of pics and extract the text into the sidebar, which is nice.. but it would be nice if the text was exported into a searchable thing and the text was linked to the pic/filename it came from..

Of course I want to search for data in my photo downloads / screenshots folders and be able to pull / easily grab / copy the pic(s) to another folder or upload to a site and then paste the text..

I guess chaining this into notion / obsidian or similar would be beneficial as well.

I'm working on a Windows version! I'll let you know when it's ready.
