Refindo is local-first data recovery software for Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+. Scan internal drives, external disks, USB drives, and SD cards (NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, APFS), preview exactly what's recoverable, and restore up to 500 MB free before paying anything.
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.
honestly the free 500 mb preview is kind of a game changer, makes it easy to actually see what's recoverable before committing. scanned an old sd card and it pulled up photos i thought were gone for years.
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.
