Recoll is a desktop document search application for Unix, Linux, Microsoft Windows and MacOS, built on the Xapian search engine library. It finds documents based on their contents as well as their file names and can search most document formats. The software is free on Linux, open source, and licensed under the GPL.
DocFetcher is an open-source desktop search application that searches the contents of files stored on a computer. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS under the Eclipse Public License. Users create indexes for folders to search, and results include a text-only preview with highlighted matches and filters by filesize, file type and location.
TagSpaces is a free, open-source file organizer for Windows, macOS, Linux and the web. It adds color-coded tags to files and folders without a database, so tags travel with the files, and it stores notes as standard text files. Files can be previewed, web content collected via a browser extension, and syncing is left to optional tools. It works offline without login.
Deark is a free, open-source, portable command-line utility that decodes certain file types, converting them to more-modern or more-readable formats or extracting embedded files. A -d option displays detailed information about a file's contents and metadata. The download package includes source code and a Windows 64-bit binary.
PDF4QT is an open source PDF editor for Windows and Linux under the LGPLv3 license. It offers applications for viewing, editing and rendering PDF documents, plus a C++ library and command line tool for developers. Features include digital signature verification, annotation editing and page organization such as merging and splitting.
UrBackup is an open source client/server backup system that combines image and file backups. File and image backups are made while the system is running, and the server has a web interface for status and configuration. Image backups only work with NTFS volumes and the Windows client or extX and XFS volumes with the Linux client.
wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage are open source command line tools that render HTML into PDF and image formats using the Qt WebKit rendering engine. They run headless without a display or display service. A C library, libwkhtmltox, offers bindings for PDF and image conversion.
