What it is

bloop is a fast code search engine written in Rust that combines traditional regex/symbol search with AI-powered conversational query and code generation. It indexes code using Tantivy and Qdrant, runs semantic search with on-device embeddings, and provides a multi-platform desktop app (via Tauri) and CLI server for asking natural-language questions about codebases and generating patches with full codebase context. Monorepo with workspace members: server/bleep (CLI/backend engine) and apps/desktop/src-tauri (Tauri desktop app). Desktop app has binary embeddings (qdrant, model files), configuration templates, and Tauri Rust bridge in src-tauri/src/. Frontend TypeScript lives under…

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone: git clone https://github.com/BloopAI/bloop.git && cd bloop && git checkout oss. Install Rust toolchain (inferred from Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock). For desktop app: cd apps/desktop && npm install (Node.js toolchain…

Daily commands:

Desktop app: cd apps/desktop && npm run tauri dev (after npm install and Rust setup). CLI server: cargo run --release -p bleep in server/bleep. Both require local_config.json with credentials. Desktop app includes b…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Scorecard: marked unmaintained (0/10)
• Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
• Required credentials: local_config.json with github_access_token and openai_api_key must exist at repo root; build will fail silently without it. Binary dependencies: Qdrant is bundled as precompiled binaries in…
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
