Local-first by design
Data stays on operator-controlled disk by default. No mandatory cloud dependencies.
Alcove, indexed for the open web.
This site is the public surface for Alcove: local-first search infrastructure. Alcove retrieves real document text from local indexes. It is retrieval, not generation.
Retrieval system
Alcove finds relevant chunks and returns them. It does not fabricate new content.
AI optional
Semantic embedding is opt-in. Operators choose whether and where AI is involved.
