Hi Product Hunt! I'm Thomas from the Netherlands, and I built Binder because I could never find my own documents. Passport scan in my email, insurance policy on Google Drive, tax return somewhere on my desktop — sound familiar?
Binder watches a folder or lets you scan from your phone, then AI reads the document and suggests how to organize it. You stay in control — nothing gets categorized without your approval.
Everything runs locally on your Mac using Ollama. Your documents never leave your device.
It's still a beta, so expect some rough edges. I'd love to hear what works and what doesn't. Happy to answer any questions here!

Who hunted Binder?
Binder was hunted by Thomas v.d. Westen. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
