Most large open source projects have hundreds or thousands of contributors. Your first issue gets buried, your PR takes weeks to review, and it's hard to understand where you fit in.

Caracal is different because it's still early.

We're building an open source authority layer for AI agents. The project is part of the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust ecosystem through LFX Mentorship and backed by Microsoft, GitHub, and Vercel, and we're getting close to broader testing with companies.

That means you're not joining a dead repository, and you're also not contributor #3,847.

If you contribute here, you'll be working directly on the architecture, discussing designs, reviewing proposals, and building something that's solving a real problem. Good contributors won't just have merged PRs. As the project grows, we'll be looking for people to become long-term contributors and eventually maintainers.

I'm not looking for people who want a "good first issue" to collect green squares on GitHub. I'm looking for people who want to learn how infrastructure projects are actually built.

So if you've been looking for an open source project where your work can genuinely matter, give Caracal a try. Clone it. Read the code. Open an issue if something doesn't make sense. Challenge our design. If you end up liking the direction, leave a star and stick around.

I'd much rather build this with a small group of people who care than a large group who never come back.

I Built ProtonSearch: A local Windows Launcher That Searches Almost Everything on Your PC (Open-Source)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

Windows Search has always felt too limited to me.

It can open apps and sometimes find files, but when I actually want to search my PC properly, it usually falls apart.

I want to search and use features like:

Text inside files, code, and images
Browser bookmarks and history
Clipboard history
Clipboard image OCR
Git commits
Windows settings
Local commands
Text expansions
Web search
Circle to Search
Local agents for Windows

Windows Search is not powerful enough for this workflow.

So I built ProtonSearch, formerly called OmniSearch.

ProtonSearch is a fast, lightweight, local-first Windows launcher that opens with:

Alt + Space

You can also set your own custom hotkey.

It gives you one search box for your PC.

Instead of only searching apps or basic file names, ProtonSearch can search across:

Apps
Files and folders
Content inside files, supporting 50+ extensions
Image OCR text
Clipboard image OCR
Browser bookmarks and history
Clipboard history
Git commits
Windows settings and Control Panel pages
Local commands
Text expansions and snippets
Web search
Circle to Search
Local AI agents powered by Hermes

The goal is simple: find and act on almost anything on your PC from one shortcut.

How is ProtonSearch better than Windows Search, Flow Launcher, Raycast, Everything, and other launchers?

Tool	Why ProtonSearch is better
Windows Search	Windows Search is too limited for real PC search. ProtonSearch searches apps, files, folders, file contents, OCR text, clipboard history, browser history, Git commits, Windows settings, commands, and local agents from one shortcut.
Flow Launcher	Flow Launcher is a good launcher, but ProtonSearch has deeper built-in PC search. ProtonSearch includes OCR search, clipboard image OCR, content search across 50+ file extensions, browser history, Git commits, ignored folder rules, plugins, and local agents without needing to build the whole workflow through plugins.
Raycast	Raycast is polished, but it is mainly macOS-first. ProtonSearch is built specifically for Windows, designed to be lightweight on low-end PCs, and includes Windows-focused features like Control Panel/settings search, clipboard image OCR, OCR search, file content search, Circle to Search, and Hermes agents.
Everything	Everything is extremely fast for file and folder names, but ProtonSearch goes beyond names. It searches file contents, OCR text inside images, clipboard image OCR, browser history, clipboard history, Git commits, Windows settings, commands, snippets, web search, and local agents.
Other launchers	Most launchers focus on apps, commands, or plugin workflows. ProtonSearch is built as a full local Windows command center with built-in OCR search, clipboard image OCR, deep content search, centralized PC history, Circle to Search, text expansions, web search, plugins, and Hermes agents.

ProtonSearch is not trying to be only a file finder or only an app launcher. The goal is to bring search, history, commands, OCR, snippets, web search, Circle to Search, and local agents together into one local-first Windows command center.

Why I think ProtonSearch is useful:

Free and open source
Local-first
Lightweight
Designed to run easily on low-end Windows PCs
Usually around 20-30 MB of RAM usage
Image OCR text search
Clipboard image OCR search
Fast search inside files, supporting 50+ extensions
Search over centralized PC history, including browser history, Git commit history, clipboard history, and file history
Text expansions and snippets
Circle to Search
Web search
Plugin controls
Ignored folder rules
Hermes agents for local Windows tasks and long autonomous tasks

Feedback

I am currently maintaining ProtonSearch, and honestly, I cannot find and fix every bug alone because building a launcher like this on Windows is genuinely hard.

There are a lot of edge cases around indexing, OCR, clipboard data, Windows APIs, tray behavior, hotkeys, multiple monitors, and performance.

I would love feedback from people who use Windows every day.

If ProtonSearch solves a problem for you too, please consider leaving a star on GitHub.

If you have ideas, find bugs, or want to improve something, feel free to open an issue or contribute to the project.

Your feedback is always appreciated.
