FAQ
DexCore FAQ
What is DexCore?
DexCore is planned as a local indexing engine that could support fast search and metadata discovery across Nova Labs desktop tools.
Will DexCore be a standalone app?
That is not decided. The roadmap notes that DexCore may remain an internal library unless a stable public engine emerges from shipped products.
Does DexCore index cloud files?
The planned direction is local indexing for files and folders the user chooses to scan. Any cloud behavior would need separate product design and privacy review.
Development status
DexCore is planned for development and should be treated as a product concept, not a completed public release.
- The Windows desktop version is the intended first target.
- The planned focus is a shared local search engine for Nova Labs desktop tools.
- Download links may show availability checks until a build is ready.
