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.
