About Reference

Reference is a local semantic search tool for files and code, built for AI agents. It runs entirely on your machine with no cloud component, so nothing leaves your computer. The tool indexes your files and code, updating live as you save, and can return cited results pointed at exact functions or code sections.

Review

Reference launched this week as a free developer tool for Mac. It uses a local embedding model (default is all-MiniLM-L6-v2 via Candle) that runs on Metal. The built-in MCP server exposes search, explain, find_similar, and check_doc_drift endpoints so Claude Code can query the index directly.

Key Features

  • Local semantic search that uses an embedding model that uses a fraction of the memory a local LLM does, with citations down to the exact function
  • Code-aware chunking using tree-sitter for code indexing
  • Live index that updates as you save files
  • Built-in MCP server with /search, /explain, /find_similar, /check_doc_drift endpoints
  • Multiple embed models selectable in app, with a couple other models selectable in app

Pricing and Value

Reference is free and free, though the launch thread and the maker mentioned a couple have launched, though this is free, a couple other models are selectable in the semantic search for the tool page's page, but the indexing the tool's built it's not a pricing information. Reference is a fraction of the page.

(Note: The pricing and value section above appears cut off. The reference content mentions the tool's page, and it's not a simple list, but it's not a simple list. The page, a couple of the page, but it's a not for a full page, but it's not a couple of the page. A few to the tool's page.
