Everything you need to stay visually organized

Refchi is a focused desktop tool for collecting, browsing, and organizing the visual references and assets that fuel creative work.

Visual browsing

See your library, not a file list

Large thumbnail grid that puts your visuals front and center. Adjust density to scan quickly or zoom into detail. Filter by type, color, or tag — all in real time.

  • Adjustable grid density — from tight overview to large preview
  • Full‑screen preview with keyboard navigation
  • Color palette filter to find assets by dominant hue

Smart organization

Folders, tags, and smart collections

Give your library real structure. Folders keep projects separate. Tags add flexible cross-cutting labels. Smart collections auto-group assets by rules you define.

  • Folders and tags are equally first-class citizens
  • Smart collections with rule-based filters
  • Color palette extraction and browsing by hue

Local‑first AI

Semantic search and OCR, on‑device

Find assets by what they contain, not just their filename. Semantic search understands meaning. OCR surfaces text inside images. Auto-tagging classifies assets for you. All processing happens locally.

  • Semantic search using on‑device sentence embeddings
  • OCR text extraction from images and screenshots
  • AI auto‑tagging to classify assets automatically

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is Refchi?

Refchi is a free desktop application for Windows that helps designers and visual thinkers collect, organize, and browse creative assets. Images, fonts, colors, bookmarks, and references all live in one local library — organized with folders, tags, and smart collections.

How does Refchi compare to Eagle App?

Both are visual asset managers built for creatives. Refchi is completely free — no license fee, no subscription. It also ships with on-device AI features (semantic search, auto-tagging, OCR) at no extra cost. Eagle has a larger community and has been around longer. If you want a modern, free alternative with built-in AI, Refchi is worth trying.

Does Refchi work offline? Does it send data to the cloud?

Yes — Refchi is fully offline. All storage, search, and AI processing happen on your machine. Nothing is sent to a cloud server. Your library is just files on your disk.

What file types does Refchi support?

50+ types including JPEG, PNG, GIF, SVG, WebP, PDF, MP4, MP3, TTF/OTF fonts, GLB 3D models, Lottie animations, Markdown, and web bookmarks with OG metadata.

How is Refchi different from cloud-based tools like Brandfolder or Playbook?

Cloud DAM tools are team-first and subscription-based. Refchi is individual-first and free. Your files never leave your machine, there's no monthly cost, and it works without an internet connection. It's built for the creative who wants a fast, private personal library, not a shared team workspace.

What are the system requirements?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Around 200 MB for the application itself. Library size depends on your assets. A macOS version is in development.
