Refindo is local-first data recovery for Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+. Recover deleted, formatted, or lost files from internal and external drives, USB devices, and SD cards across NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, and APFS. Use Quick Scan or Deep Scan, preview files before paying, and recover up to 500 MB free. Everything runs on your computer—nothing is uploaded.
It would be really helpful to add a deep scan option that goes beyond the quick recovery pass, especially for older or heavily corrupted drives. A lot of files won't show up in the first scan, so having that option right from the main window would save users from giving up too early.
the 500mb free limit is honestly pretty generous, but one thing that would make this a no-brainer for me is adding the ability to pause and resume scans. last time i tried recovering from a 2tb drive the scan took hours and my laptop went to sleep mid-process, which was kind of a nightmare. pretty sure most recovery tools skip this but it would honestly set refindo apart.
