DigUp runs on Linux as a beta (version 0.7.0-beta.1). It reads your local files and runs the 865 MB EmbeddingGemma 2 model locally, using your graphics card via Vulkan when faster, or your processor.
Packages and requirements
DigUp provides two 64-bit packages for Intel and AMD processors:
DigUp_0.7.0-beta.1_amd64.deb(41.4 MB) for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Mint 21, and newer. The package is nameddig-up.DigUp_0.7.0-beta.1_amd64.AppImage(142.1 MB) for other Linux distributions.
You can verify the download hash using sha256sum followed by the file name.
Setup and desktop integration
On first launch, DigUp downloads the 865 MB model while you choose the folders to search. The global search shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+Space. On GNOME and KDE under Wayland, DigUp adds this shortcut to your desktop keyboard settings during setup. On other Wayland desktops, Settings provides the command to bind manually.
On GNOME, the tray icon requires the AppIndicator extension, which Ubuntu includes. Without this extension, the window’s ⋯ menu offers the same tray actions. Results open directly in supported programs: PDFs open at the matching page in Evince, Okular, Firefox, or Chrome, while audio and video open at the matched moment in VLC or mpv. You can check GPU detection in speed.log under ~/.local/share/com.abdurrahim.DigUp/logs.
Limits and updates
The Linux beta does not read text inside screenshots, SVG pictures, RAW photos, or older Word .doc files. The AppImage updates itself with one click. The .deb package alerts you when an update is available and opens the release page.
