01

Free essentials

Filename search, exact-word content search, folder browsing, previews and manual tags. No tariff cap on file count or search speed.

02

Pro understands more

Meaning-based document search, scan OCR, photo search by description or example, and automatic tags. Models download separately.

03

A familiar file workspace

Tabs, folder scopes, filters and previews. Find a document, inspect it, then open it in its original application.

WINDOWS

A setup that fits your computer.

Windows desktop apps. Model downloads need internet and free disk space. Detector Loupe and Humanizer Lite provide CPU options. Humanizer Full needs a supported GPU; allow roughly 9 GB of free GPU memory, with extra headroom. Actual suitability is checked in the app.

FAQ

A few useful answers.

Do I need both apps?

Only if you need both workflows. Detector works with text; Probe searches your files. Install either one independently.

Is the Humanizer a separate subscription?

It is part of Linda Detector and requires a paid Linda Detector licence. Personal and Team are one-time licences; Organization is annual.

Do documents leave my computer?

Desktop processing runs locally. Downloads, updates and licence validation use the network. Text entered into the online demo is processed on a server.

Can Trace prove who wrote a text?

No. It compares supplied texts and ranks style similarity. Genre, length, editing and shared sources can change the result.
