Mac file search app
Find any file
in milliseconds.
Finder search is slow. Spotlight mixes apps with files. Fast Search Everything is a dedicated Mac file search app: choose your folders, index them in memory, and search with powerful filters — all on-device.

Why switch
Built for file search
Pick your folders
Grant access only to folders you want indexed — external drives, project folders, archives. Nothing else is scanned.
Instant results
An in-memory index means results appear as you type, even across tens of thousands of files.
Private by design
Fully sandboxed, no network calls, no analytics. Your file index never leaves your Mac.
