Hey Product Hunt! I built FileSeekr because I constantly struggled to find files across massive drives full of videos, photos, subtitles, project files, PDFs, and random folders accumulated over years of creative work. I know there are already some great file search apps out there, but I wanted to challenge myself to build something from the ground up as a personal project while creating a tool tailored to the way I actually work. Spotlight worked fine for basic searches, but once my workflow grew larger and more media-heavy, finding things became frustratingly slow and inconsistent. I wanted something that could deeply search across different file types while staying fast, local, and privacy-focused. What started as a personal tool slowly evolved into a full macOS app designed for creators, editors, photographers, and power users who deal with large file libraries every day. One of the biggest challenges during development was balancing deep indexing with performance and simplicity. I wanted FileSeekr to feel powerful without becoming overwhelming. This is still just the beginning, and I’m excited to keep improving it based on feedback from the community. Thanks for checking it out! I’d genuinely love to hear what features or workflows matter most to you.
