Zapfind Coming soon

Instant file search for Mac, Everything-style. Type a letter, the file is already there.

Small, but punches hard

Every detail exists so you can slack off sooner.

~1M

Files indexed

Your whole disk, not just the Spotlight-blessed bits.

5–60 ms

Per search

Results appear while your finger is still on the key.

Fuzzy + regex

Forgiving

Typos forgiven. Type something regex-y and it switches automatically.

~6 MB

Index cache

Tiny on disk. Starts instantly.

Low

Memory use

Sits quietly in the background. You’ll forget it’s there.

Live

Updates

Create, rename, delete: the index keeps up. No rebuilds.

100%

Local only

No telemetry. Your file names never leave your Mac.

Zapfind vs Spotlight

Spotlight is great. It just isn’t obsessed with finding files.
