AppScout scans every app on your Mac or PC and lets you search by what you want to do — not by app name. Finally know what each app is for, and find exactly the right one in seconds.
Your dock and Applications folder are packed. But half those apps? You installed them once and forgot what they even do.
You need to compress a video, sign a contract, or convert a file — but you don't know which app handles that, or if you even have one.
You already own the solution. Browsing the App Store for something you already have installed makes no sense — but that's what most people do.
AppScout reads your installed apps, builds an offline knowledge base using AI-enriched descriptions, and lets you search in plain English. Type what you want to do — AppScout finds what you already own.
Describe any task in plain English and instantly see which of your installed apps can handle it.
Every app gets a rich description, category, feature list, and practical use cases — all stored locally.
Tap any result to see a full breakdown of what the app does, what it's best for, and its key capabilities.
Found the right app? Open it instantly without leaving the search results.
Sort and filter all your apps alphabetically or grouped by category to explore what you have.
All scanning and search happens on your device. Nothing is sent to any server, ever.
Click Scan Apps once. AppScout walks your Applications folder, reads every app, and enriches each one with AI-generated descriptions and categories — all offline.
Type what you want to do — not an app name. AppScout matches your goal against every app's capabilities and surfaces the best fits instantly.
Found your app? Open it with one click. Need more info? Tap Details to see a full breakdown of what the app does and how it can help.
No subscription. No account. Just download, scan, and search.
