A DSIO Industries product · Windows 10 & 11
Find the app you forgot you had.
Hit a hotkey, describe what you want in plain language, and Thingwhere finds the installed program for it — even if you don't remember its name. Local-first, tiny, and yours with one payment.
⚠ Test mode — payments are simulated (sandbox)
Features
Fuzzy name matching merged with full-text search over descriptions and keywords. "Record my screen" finds OBS Studio; "gpu temps" finds your monitoring tool.
Runs quietly in the tray, watches the registry for installs and uninstalls, and keeps a catalog of every program on the machine — portable EXEs can be added by hand too.
Everything lives in a local SQLite database in your user profile. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Your software list never leaves your machine.
Point it at a local Ollama model or the Claude / Codex CLI and it writes descriptions and keywords for every app — plus a Tab-to-ask assist for vague queries. Skip all of it and search still works.
On Windows 10, dock a native Thingwhere search box straight into the taskbar (a real DeskBand, like the classic toolbars). Windows 11 uses the hotkey popup.
A ~5 MB native Rust app. Statically linked — no runtimes to install, no admin rights needed. Installs to your user profile and starts with Windows.
How it works
Run ThingwhereSetup.exe. No admin rights, no prerequisites. It catalogs your installed software on first run and sits in the tray.
Ctrl+Alt+Space (configurable) opens the popup anywhere. Type what you want in your own words.
The right program launches. For vague queries, press Tab and the (optional) AI assist picks the best match for you.

FAQ
Install Thingwhere and press its hotkey (default Ctrl+Alt+Space), then describe what the program does in plain English — for example “record my screen” or “the thing that shows GPU temps.” Thingwhere searches the descriptions and keywords of every program installed on your PC and launches the right one, even when you can't remember its name. It's a one-time $3 purchase for Windows 10 and 11 — no account, no subscription.
Windows 10 or 11. That's it — the installer is ~5 MB, statically linked, needs no admin rights and no runtimes. It installs per-user and can start with Windows.
No. AI enrichment is optional and plugs into what you already have: a local Ollama model, or the Claude / Codex CLI if they're installed. Without any of them, search still works on names and your own keywords.
No. The catalog is a local SQLite database in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Thingwhere. No account, no cloud sync, no telemetry. If you use a local Ollama model, even the AI stays on your machine.
On Windows 10 you can dock a native Thingwhere search box inside the taskbar (Toolbars → "Thingwhere Search"). Windows 11 removed toolbar hosting from its taskbar, so there you use the hotkey popup instead.
