Browse, search, rename in bulk and play — with a dashboard that shows where every gigabyte went, and says how it knows. No Electron, and your files never leave your Mac.

Thumbnails drawn from the files themselves, a panel that knows what each one is, and a player that stays out of the way. This is the real window, not a mock-up.
Open a folder, press play. The deck follows the queue, shows every track’s tempo — read from its tags, or estimated from the audio itself — and keeps the level meter moving while you work.
An illustration: the artists and albums are invented, and the level meter is drawn, not listening.
A local index walks your disk once and keeps itself current. Every card says where its figures came from — measured, observed or estimated — and nothing is invented to fill a gap.
Change needs two readings. On day one there is only one, so the card says so — in those words — instead of drawing a flat line and calling it a trend. Beside it, what could realistically be freed, by category — every row says how it knows.
System, indexed and free space in one glance — plus a duplicate hunt one click away, the largest files and a day-by-day picture of what changed.
Storage by kind, the hours of the day your files were last touched, and insights written as plain sentences — never advice to delete.
A map of folder sizes you can click into, beside how long it has been since your files last changed.
Stale, empty and unusually large files — and a duplicate hunt that reads bytes, not names.
The folders that took on the most new data, and the projects the index recognises — with the evidence.
A real AppKit table underneath, so fifty thousand entries scroll the way ten do. The rest is what a file manager should have had all along.
Number, name, kind, size, date, tempo, duration. Click, ⇧-click and ⌘-click behave exactly as in Finder. Columns retire gracefully as the pane narrows — the name never gives way.
Copy, move, rename and trash share a queue you can pause and cancel. Nothing is overwritten. A finished move can be taken back.
Nine steps, run in order. See every current name against every new one — conflicts counted — before a byte is written.
Collections gather paths from anywhere on the machine. Give one a name, a note and a cover — it reads like a record sleeve in the sidebar.
Audio and video through one engine. Tempo is trusted when tagged, analysed from the sound when not — and estimates carry a tilde.
⌘K searches actions, your library, your collections and the files in the index — at once, from the keyboard, without touching the disk on every keystroke.
Inside a Git repository the header shows the branch and what changed. When a folder is video, audio, photo, design or code work, a chip says so — and the inspector lists the evidence.
It reads bytes rather than guesses — and it starts by not reading them at all. Nothing is removed for you; the group is shown, and you decide.
Sizes shared by fewer than two files are discarded before a single byte is read. A file with a unique size can’t have a twin.
What survives is compared on its first and last blocks. Files that differ there differ everywhere — and it cost two small reads.
The result is a group of identical copies and the space one of them is costing you. The smallest file worth considering is a setting, so a thousand identical icons never enter the hunt.
Your files never leave your Mac. The only connections are the daily update check, license activation once you buy, and — only if you choose to sign in — syncing your settings (never your files). There is no telemetry watching how you use it — the trial is the full app, not a demo.
An email and a one-time code, no password. Only preferences follow you: theme, accent, density, dashboard cards. Paths, the index, history and collections stay here.
Refuse access to a folder and the storage view lists it, rather than quietly leaving it out of the totals.
0 % CPU at rest, measured in folders holding tens of thousands of files. Metadata and tempo are read only for the rows you can see.
