Local-first desktop document intelligence

Your archive has the answer.
Find it in seconds.

Colpan indexes hundreds of thousands of files on your machine — contracts, court filings, scans, mail archives — and finds the one you need before you finish typing. It reads formats other tools can't, understands how words change shape, and masks personal data to GDPR grade before any AI sees a single line.

Why Colpan

What the engine does best

01 — FIND

Finds what keyword search misses

Morphology-aware matching catches every inflected form of a word; a full query language — fields, dates, regex — drills exactly where you point. Results and previews arrive in milliseconds, even on archives of hundreds of thousands of files.

02 — READ

Reads what other tools can't

100+ formats including Office, ODF, RTF and regional court formats other tools skip; looks inside ZIP/RAR archives; scanned PDFs become searchable text through built-in OCR.

03 — PROTECT

Personal data, under control

Everything runs locally — documents never leave your machine. The PII layer masks names, IDs and IBANs to GDPR grade before any AI sees a line, with an encrypted vault and permanent redaction on higher plans.

The engine

From raw folders to a knowledge base

Point Colpan at your archive and the pipeline takes over — every step runs on your machine.

1

Index everything, fast

100+ formats — PDF, Office, ODF, RTF, e-mail exports, code, and archives (it reads inside ZIP/RAR too). Hundreds of thousands of files indexed at full speed, kept fresh by live file watching.

2

OCR what's scanned

Scanned PDFs and images are triaged and turned into searchable text automatically — your paper archive becomes queryable like everything else.

3

Preview instantly

Heavy PDFs and Office documents open in milliseconds with your search hits highlighted — no Office, no waiting, straight to the matching page.

4

Guard the PII

Structural + NER + LLM detection, an encrypted vault, permanent redaction and clean exports — personal data is under control before any AI ever sees it.

5

Vectorize on your terms

Curate the documents that matter into a local vector database — semantic and hybrid search over concepts, not just keywords, with reranking on top.

6

Ask with RAG

Chat answers are grounded in your own corpus, with evidence chips pointing back to the exact documents — work on your files, don't just talk about them.

Built for agents

Your AI now knows your disk

Colpan is more than an app: it is a programmable document layer. An agent like Claude Code can scan, search and organize your archive through the colpan command — with the PII guard on for every call.

Humans use the interface, agents use the terminal. Both see the same index and the same privacy rules.

FAQ

Fair questions

What exactly am I paying for?

The engine. Each plan licenses the full desktop app and scales its capacity — how many documents you index, how many pages you OCR each month, which PII layers you get, and how many devices share it. A monthly AI credit is included on top; AI is the fuel, not the product.

What happens when my AI credit runs out?

Nothing stops — search, preview, OCR and everything local keep working at full speed. Chat resumes at your next monthly renewal, or immediately if you switch to your own API key (BYOK) or a local model. Add-on credit packs are coming soon.

Does my data go to the cloud?

Your documents stay on your machine. Only when you chat does the relevant text go to a cloud model — and it passes through the PII guard first. Critical personal data is masked or blocked.

Can I use my subscription on multiple devices?

Yes — each plan supports as many devices as its shareable seats (Solo 1, Pro 3, Max 5). Every device draws on the same AI credit.

What is the difference between BYOK and Managed?

Managed: no keys, no separate billing — Colpan credit. BYOK: your own OpenRouter/OpenAI key, straight to the provider — Colpan never sits in between.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime — subscriptions are monthly with no lock-in. See our refund policy for details.

Stop digging. Start finding.
