In simple English
Coco App is a search box for your computer that connects to your team's cloud services. You type what you need and it looks through Google Workspace, Dropbox, GitHub and other places at once. It also includes an artificial intelligence chat assistant that answers questions using your company files. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile devices. It is free to use under the MIT licence, but you need to run your own backend server to make the search work.
What it is
Coco App is a cross-platform user interface built with Tauri (a framework for building small desktop programs with web technologies) and React (a JavaScript library for building user interfaces). It acts as the front-end client that talks to a separate backend server for indexing and search.
What it is good for
Solo builders and small teams who want a single search shortcut on their desktop to find files and chat with an assistant about their internal project documents.
- Binds multiple work tools into one search box.
- Works across desktop and mobile platforms.
- Built with fast technologies like Rust and Tauri.
- Requires setting up a separate backend server to handle data indexing.
- Needs Node.js, Rust and pnpm installed for local development.
- Search quality depends heavily on your backend server configuration.
