Yew Search
Yew Search

One place for your knowledge. Self-hosted. Private.

Search, summarize, and connect your own AI tools to everything across Gmail, your own websites, and FTP servers - unified, searchable, and running on your hardware, not someone else's.

Privacy First

Self-hosted on your hardware. Your data never leaves your infrastructure. No third-party services, no tracking, no data mining.

Search Everything

One search box for Gmail, your own websites, FTP servers, and more. Full-text search with relevance ranking. Find what you need, instantly.

Crawl Your Websites

Point it at a seed URL and Yew Search crawls same-host pages, following links automatically to build a searchable index of your own sites.

Mirror FTP Archives

Recursively scans FTP servers, subdirectories included, to discover and index text files - documents, notes, subtitles, and more - across your archives.

Raspberry Pi Ready

Runs on Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB+). Minimal resource usage. No cloud dependencies. Perfect for homelabs.

MCP Access

An MCP server lets your own AI tools search and read your indexed content directly - early and still evolving, but real.

Automatic Sync

Background polling keeps your data up-to-date. Configurable sync intervals. Never miss an email or message.

Free for Personal Use

Fair-code licensed. Free for homelab and personal use. Transparent, auditable code. Commercial licenses available.
