... Long-time Windows user here. I lived by "Everything" by voidtools, instant file search, always accurate. When I switched to Mac, Finder search was a nightmare. Slow, misses files on external drives, completely broken over SMB shares. So I built Finda , a native Mac app for fast, local file search. No cloud, no bloat, privacy-first. Would love honest feedback from anyone who's felt this pain. What would make you switch from Spotlight or Alfred? Finda ...

... Docker images, AI models, screenshots, downloads, and random project folders, I had almost 90 GB of space I could reclaim but figuring out what was actually safe to delete was surprisingly tedious. Instead of spending another hour digging through Finder, I built a small macOS app to solve the problem for myself. It reminded me why I enjoy building software in the first place.

Coordinate clicking on dense UIs misses sometimes. The vision-based finder is more reliable but slower.
