You know the file exists.
You just can't find it.

You saved something last week. A PDF, some notes. It's somewhere in Documents or that project folder you forgot you made.

You open Finder, type a name you half-remember, and get two hundred results or an error. The file you need is in neither.

Five minutes gone. You were looking for something that should take five seconds.

One shortcut.
That's the whole workflow.

⌘⇧F The overlay appears on top of whatever you're doing, even fullscreen apps.
Type Results show up as you type, matching filenames and content.
Preview the file right there. Images, PDFs, code, plain text. No need to open anything.
⏎ Enter Opens the file. Or hit ⌘K for quick actions: reveal in Finder, copy the path, copy the name, or trash it.

You remember what's in the file.
That's enough.

A client name buried in a document, a line of code from last month. Type it. findr searches inside your files and pulls up the match.

Confirm it's the right file
without opening it.

Every result shows a live preview right in the overlay. Scan the contents, check the image, read the first paragraph. Move on or open it.

One click after install.
No configuration.

findr indexes your home folder on first launch, and your files are searchable within seconds. New and changed files get picked up every 5 minutes in the background.

Your files stay on your Mac.

Your files never leave your machine and never get uploaded anywhere. No account, no sign-up required.

It's free. No trial period, no paid tiers.

Uses less memory than the Finder window you'd open instead.
