Most file search apps search either the macOS's metadata database or the disk directly. This means they can often provide search results that are incomplete, contain unwanted items or they perform unnecessarily slowly. Not with ProFind, which searches metadata and the disk.

And with support for innovative natural language queries, application launching, spatial disk browsing, hidden location searches, Finder integration, search saving, history, scripting and more, it's the only search app you'll ever need.

The free companion iOS app allows you to search for files on your Mac and download and share them with other iOS apps. Access the ProFile sidebar, browse favourite folders, get info and preview files.
Searches and downloads are performed over an encrypted network connection. Requires ProFind for Mac. Intended for local networks only. Supports iPhone and iPad.
