## About

Findy searches files on your Mac using descriptions such as “pdfs from gmail last week” or “screenshots with wifi password.” It interprets file types, dates, sizes and download sources, and can search text found in PDFs, notes, images and screenshots. Photos can also be tagged by their contents.

Findy organizes files into shelves and collections, offers a keyboard shortcut for quick search from any app, and includes cleanup suggestions for large, old and duplicate files. Its index, thumbnails and recognized text stay on your Mac; Findy says it works offline for 30 days. It requires macOS 14 or later and costs $11 for an early-bird license, paid once.
