Find any file on your Mac the moment you start typing.
FileFinch indexes every file and folder name on your Mac in seconds, then searches millions of them as fast as you type. If you used Everything on Windows, it will feel familiar.
One-time purchase. macOS 13 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. Notarized by Apple.
This demo searches a handful of made-up files right in your browser. FileFinch does the same across every file on your Mac.

Questions
Does FileFinch read my files?
No. It indexes file and folder names only, never what's inside them.
Does it search external drives?
Yes. Choose which drives to index in Options › Volumes.
Why does it ask for Full Disk Access?
macOS hides some folders from apps without it. With it, FileFinch can see every folder. Your file list still never leaves your Mac.
What happens after 14 days?
FileFinch asks for a license key. Buy one, then paste it under FileFinch › License.
