Free software · Runs locally · RKC
New codebase? A folder of text files you can’t make sense of? RKC makes a searchable map on your own computer, so you can find what matters and open the file it came from.
RKC searches code and text files, including Markdown. It doesn’t extract text from PDF or Word files. Installation uses Terminal or PowerShell; setup help is available.
Optional setup and training: A$110/hour including GST, billed for actual minutes. We agree a maximum in writing. What setup includes →

Need a hand getting it working?
RKC is free. Tell us what you want to find and what computer you use. We’ll try a relevant example before agreeing the setup, training and maximum fee.
Make sense of what you find
See which files were indexed and which references need a closer look. Open a result to check the original source before using it in your work.
Public repositories need no account connection. For private repositories, connect with a personal access token held only for your local server session.
Work with the results
The same source records are available in the workbench, to agents and to your own code.
Search files and symbols, follow their connections and open the original file.
Retrieve cited records through MCP or HTTP for another tool to inspect. RKC supplies the records; your agent writes the answer.
Run scans from the CLI, export JSON records or use the typed Go client in your own application.
