Quick Start

Get up and running with Gety in three steps: install, search, and connect your AI tools.

1. Install

Download Gety from gety.ai/download. Available for Windows and macOS.

All data stays on your computer — Gety runs 100% locally and never sends your files anywhere.

On first launch, Gety automatically indexes your entire disk — reading the full content of every document, PDF, spreadsheet, and even text inside images. You don't need to worry about where your files are stored — whether they're in project folders, on your Desktop, or buried in Downloads, Gety finds them all.

tip

You can start searching right away while the index is still building. Results will become more complete as indexing finishes.

2. Search your files

Open Gety and start typing. Results appear instantly as you type — no need to press Enter.

  • Semantic search — Gety matches meaning, not just keywords. Search "service contract" and find documents titled "statement of work".
  • Preview and highlight — Click any result to preview the file. Gety highlights the exact matching passage so you don't have to scroll.
  • Filter — Narrow results by file type, time range, or match type using the sidebar filters.

For more details, see File Search.

3. Work with AI

Connect your AI tools to Gety, and they can search all your local files automatically — no uploads, no copy-pasting.

AI agents like Claude Cowork and Claude Code can go further: search your scattered files through Gety, pull the details they need, and deliver finished presentations, reports, and briefings. See Work with AI for setup guides.
