FileSift shows your folders as large, clear thumbnails, understands plain-English search, and clears out duplicates and old downloads. It works next to Finder and keeps everything on your Mac.
Images, videos, music, documents, archives and apps each get their own glossy folder, with a live count and size. Open one and every file shows a real preview.
FileSift reads your home folders in place. Nothing is moved or renamed.
Type what you are looking for in everyday words. FileSift shows you how it understood the question, so you can adjust it.
Try “pdfs from last week”, “videos over 2 GB” or “screenshots this month”. FileSift turns the words into filters you can see and change.
Screenshots and scans become searchable. Recognition runs on your Mac with Apple’s own text engine.
Every download is grouped by where it came from. Find that attachment without remembering the filename.
FileSift finds identical files and look-alike photos, always keeps one copy, and checks it again before anything moves.
Press Space for a large preview of images, video, audio, PDFs and documents. Use the arrow keys to move through a folder.
FileSift shows your Finder tags and marks files that live only in iCloud, without downloading them in the background.
Old installers, forgotten downloads, old screenshots and apps you have not opened in months, sorted by how much room they take. Nothing is deleted. Files go to the Trash, so you can put them back.
Your files, search terms and thumbnails never leave your Mac.
FileSift only reads folders you allow. It never uploads, syncs or analyses your files on a server.
Every removal goes to the Trash first. FileSift confirms the size and count before it moves anything.
A native app that uses Spotlight, Quick Look and Apple’s on-device text recognition, so it stays quick on large libraries.
No subscription and no account.
Your licence key is emailed right after payment and shown on the download page. Needs an internet connection once, to activate. Price in US dollars; tax may be added at checkout.
No. It sits next to Finder as a faster way to look through and search your files. You can still open anything in Finder from FileSift.
Only when you ask. Removals go to the Trash, and FileSift shows how many files and how much space before it moves them. For duplicates it always keeps one copy.
No. Browsing, search and text recognition all run on your Mac. The direct download contacts a server only to check your licence and look for updates.
Any Mac with macOS Sonoma 14 or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
Yes. Files that are only stored in iCloud are shown but never hashed or removed as duplicates, so FileSift does not download them in the background.
Open FileSift once and everything on your Mac is a click away.
