Getting Started with Docora
Add your documents, ask a question, get an answer. Here is everything you need to go from download to your first search.
Supported file formats
Download and install
Grab the latest version for your platform from the download section.
- Mac: Open the .dmg, drag Docora to Applications, then launch. If macOS warns about an unidentified developer, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway."
- Windows: Run the installer. If SmartScreen appears, click "More info" then "Run anyway."
Auto-updates included
Docora checks for updates automatically. You will always have the latest features without re-downloading.
Add your documents
Click "Add Files" or drag files directly into the window. You can add individual files or entire folders.
Docora indexes your documents locally on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to the cloud. Your files stay private.
Organize by project
Create separate collections for different projects, cases, or topics. Smaller, focused collections return more relevant results.
Ask your first question
Type a question in natural language. Docora searches across all your documents and returns an answer with exact source references.
Example questions:
- "What were the key findings from the Phase 3 trial?"
- "Summarize the indemnification clause in this contract"
- "Compare the revenue projections across all quarterly reports"
- "Find all mentions of adverse events in these case studies"
Be specific
The more specific your question, the better the answer. "What dose was used in the treatment arm?" works better than "tell me about the study."
Get more from your documents
Here are a few things that make Docora powerful:
