Everywhere finding Swift source files, with filename, path, size, kind, and modification date columns.
Real files. A native Mac app. Everything you need to find your way.

LESS HUNTING. MORE DOING.

A small app.
A very useful superpower.

Start typing. Find it.

Search fragments anywhere in a filename. Results update as you type, with matching text highlighted and more results as you scroll.

Always within reach.

Press ⌥ Space to bring Everywhere forward. It stays in your menu bar, ready for the next “where did I put that?”

Find it. Then use it.

Open files, reveal them in Finder, preview with Quick Look, or open a folder in your favorite terminal. All from the results.

FROM A FRAGMENT TO A FILTER

Know a little?
Find a lot.

A few letters are often enough. When you need to be specific, combine names with file types, sizes, dates, and folders.

FAMILIAR BY DESIGN

Mac through and through.

Native controls. Keyboard shortcuts. Help that works offline.
Built with SwiftUI and AppKit to fit the way you work.

Everywhere narrowing source files to five matching Search filenames within the project folder.

Your index. Your choice.

Choose your search locations and exclusions. Pause a scan, resume it, or search your saved index while updates are off.

Keeps up with your files.

Live filesystem updates track changes. Journal replay catches up with changes made while Everywhere was closed.

Focused on filenames.

Everywhere indexes names and filesystem metadata, not document contents. A compact SQLite index powers the search.
