Trover — Plug. Ask. Find.
Multi-Drive Data Intelligence

Your files are
buried treasure.

Decades of documents. Scattered across drives, backups, and cloud exports. Trover scans them all, finds what matters, and lets you ask questions across your entire history.

The Expedition

You know it’s in there.
Somewhere.

Every knowledge worker has the same problem. Years of work product buried across backup drives, Time Machine snapshots, NAS boxes, and cloud exports. You know you wrote that board deck. You just can’t find it.

Scattered Across Drives

Time Machine, external HDDs, NAS mounts, Google Takeout exports. Your career is spread across a dozen storage devices.

Spotlight Can’t Help

OS search doesn’t index backup drives. It doesn’t score relevance. It doesn’t understand what matters to you.

AI Needs the Data First

You can’t ask an AI about documents it’s never seen. Somebody has to scan, extract, and organize them first.

The Method

Three steps. That’s it.

From dusty drive to answered question in minutes.

1
Plug In

Connect any drive. Time Machine, external HDD, NAS, cloud export. Trover scans and scores every document by your definition of importance.

2
Ask

“What did I present to the board in Q1 2025?” Natural language queries across your entire document history. Powered by RAG.

3
Find

Get answers with sources. The exact file, the exact slide, the exact paragraph. Deduplicated, scored, and cited.

The Treasure Map

What nobody else does.

Relevance Scoring

4-tier configurable keyword engine. You define what matters. A lawyer scores “deposition.” A PM scores “roadmap.” Your rules, your priorities.

🔗

Cross-Drive Dedup

MD5 deduplication across every connected drive. No more 16 copies of the same quarterly review from different Time Machine snapshots.

🌐

Multi-Format Extraction

PPTX, DOCX, PDF, XLSX, CSV, and legacy formats. Trover reads them all, extracts the text, chunks it, and embeds it for semantic search.

🔒

Local-First. Always.

Your data never leaves your machine. Embeddings run locally. Only the optional RAG answer step calls an LLM—and even that’s configurable.

Config-Driven

One YAML file controls everything: drives, keywords, categories, scoring bonuses, output structure. Customize for your domain in minutes.

Crash-Safe & Incremental

SQLite WAL mode. Interrupt anytime, resume where you left off. Only processes new or changed files. Re-running is cheap.

For Builders

Building something? Plug in. Ask. Find.

Trover isn’t just a desktop tool—it’s data infrastructure. Your scored, deduplicated document corpus, ready to query from whatever you’re building.

MCP Server · 18 Tools

RAG queries, semantic search, file browsing, collection management, indexing control, and more—directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI tool. 5 resources, 4 prompt templates, zero-config discovery via .mcp.json. Works standalone—no FastAPI needed.

REST API · 25+ Endpoints

High-performance FastAPI with full search, scoring, retrieval, deduplication, job management, and config control. 6 integration patterns out of the box: Zapier, Slack, multi-agent, CLI, Python SDK, and cURL. 4 deployment modes including Docker and Tauri desktop.

Integrates with all major cloud platforms—with a proprietary hybrid model for local and cloud data intelligence, backup, and retrieval.
