Personal copy
This is a personal copy of Recoll, forked on 2025-06-30 from the authors' original site framagit
I have made a copy here on github for these reasons:
for myself to work on new ideas and new features, as I have been using Recoll since 2008, which is about 17 years! I have come to love it and rely on it, but I can see room for some improvements as well and I wanted to experiment with some ideas I had for it;
there are only about 2 or 3 other copies of the Recoll source on github right now, and all of these seem to be copies of source from over 6-10 years ago. I needed a more recent copy to work from;
my experiments will be in my own branch
brianonn-changesbased off ofmasterand I will strive to keep themasterbranch clean and up-to-date with the original upstreammasterat framagit;I am not trying to take over Recoll or "fork" it in the traditional sense of why one would fork a git repo. The author Jean‑François Dockes has single-handedly maintained the original Recoll source at framagit and continues to update it and provide bug fixes there. The original is not abandoned.
Recoll
Recoll is a desktop full-text search tool. It finds keywords inside documents as well as file names.
- Versions are available for Linux and MS Windows.
- A WEB front-end with preview and download features can replace or supplement the GUI for remote use.
- It can search most document formats. You may need external applications for text extraction.
- It can reach any storage place: files, archive members, email attachments, transparently handling decompression.
- One click will open the document inside a native editor or display an even quicker text preview.
- The software is free, open source, and licensed under the GPL.
For more detail, see the features page on the web site or the online documentation.
Most distributions feature prebuilt packages for Recoll, but if you need them, the instructions for building and installing are here.
