Remember the file. Forget the folder.
Type what you remember, like “pdfs from last week over 5 mb”. MacEx turns your words into filters you can see and change, so you find the file without knowing where it lives.
A happier home for your files.
Everything on your Mac, in one calm window.
Search the way you think. Peek without opening. Make room with confidence.

Go on. Poke around.
This is MacEx running in your browser with sample files. Type a search in plain words, open a category, free up some space. Nothing here can see your real files.
Illustrative demo with sample files. ⌘K jumps to search, Space previews, Esc closes.
EVERYTHING IT DOES
Small app.
Small app.
Big relief.
Less clutter. More clarity.
MacEx finds old installers, forgotten downloads, duplicates and big videos you no longer need. You review every file, and nothing leaves until you move it to Trash.
Every file, in its place.
Your images, videos, music, documents and apps in one library, sorted into categories. Switch between grid and list, and sort by date, name or size.
Know where it came from.
See which website each download came from, like Gmail or Slack. One click tidies your Downloads folder into neat folders, and ⌘Z puts it all back.
A peek, not a detour.
Press Space to look inside a photo, PDF or video without opening another app. The arrow keys flip to the next file, and you can copy text straight out of images.
One keystroke away.
Press ⇧⌘Space in any app and MacEx comes forward, ready to search. Type a few words and open the file you need in seconds.
Your servers, same window.
Browse, upload and download files on your servers over SFTP, without leaving MacEx. It checks the server’s identity before you sign in, and never overwrites a file.
Your library. Your business.
No account and no cloud AI. Search and text recognition run on your Mac, so your files never leave it.

Is it a subscription?+
No. MacEx is a one-time purchase. Pay once and keep it.
Do I need an account?+
No. There is no account to create and no API key to set up. Checkout is handled by Dodo Payments.
Which Macs can run it?+
MacEx needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later and runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Does it move my files around?+
Browsing your library never reorganizes the originals. Cleanup moves only what you select to Trash. Tidy Downloads runs only when you ask, never replaces existing files, and ⌘Z puts everything back. Automation rules are off until you turn them on.
Does search send my files to AI?+
No. Search runs on your Mac and turns your words into filters you can edit. Finding words inside images and PDFs is a separate switch, and it uses Apple’s on-device text recognition.
macOS warned me when I opened it. Is that normal?+
MacEx is not yet notarized by Apple, so macOS can show a warning the first time you open it. The install guide shows how to open it.
