Extension summary

Focus on your work, not finding your documents.

Haystack helps you make the most of your time, by searching all your documents, files and history in the cloud in one place, instantly.

It's also privacy-centric by being a local only solution! No files, documents, meta information or OAuth tokens are stored on a server, everything is stored on your computer.

Never waste time asking or answering these questions again: Where? Search across Drive, Dropbox, Slack, Asana, Browser History and 20+ cloud solutions at once. What? Search both names and the content inside documents using simple filters. Which? Ensure you're opening the right file with a preview and version information. Why? Share, download or duplicate a file in one click (or keyboard shortcut).

Using a keyboard shortcut (Control/Cmd + Spacebar) Haystack will allow you to search all your content that you have added in one place.

It also takes over your new tab, showing the weather, the date and a quick way to search your content.
