## About

Espresso is an instant file search app for Mac that works by indexing every file on connected disks and it keeps unplugged disks searchable. Results update with each keystroke, with support for Everything by voidtools style syntax, wildcards, regular expressions, sizes, dates, file kinds, folders, duplicates, saved searches, and macros.

The Pro version adds unlimited offline disks, natural language search (runs locally on the neural engine on M series Macs), metadata filters, bulk renaming, timelines, document and photo search, and integrations with Terminal, Apple Shortcuts, Raycast, Alfred, and MCP.
