ColGREP / NextPlaid

Local semantic code search for your terminal and coding agents, combining regex with vector ranking.

Desktopfreeglobal

A local semantic code search tool for the terminal, ColGREP / NextPlaid combines regex filtering with vector-based ranking and auto-updates its index on file changes; it runs as a single self-contained Rust binary with no server or external dependencies so source code stays on the machine. It is aimed at developers and coding agents needing better retrieval within a single repository, integrates with agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex and Hermes, and is available under the Apache-2.0 license; it is not designed for cross-repository or hosted search.
