FlitFind
Not claimedWindows users have Everything
By 晨阳 赵 · Productivity
In short
FlitFind is a Mac file search app that matches as you type and looks inside PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and many code and text formats, not just filenames. It suits people who want more precise search than Spotlight, with wildcards, regex, boolean queries, and filters by extension, size, and date. One notable point is that the index stays entirely on the device and only folders the user explicitly grants access to are indexed.
Summary by Debuts, based on the App Store listing.About
Windows users have Everything. Mac users finally have FlitFind — type and it's there, lightning-fast. And it goes further than filenames: search inside your documents, from a clause in a contract to a line in a paper.
[WHY FLITFIND] • Everything-class instant search: in-memory index, results update with every keystroke — no Enter, no spinner • Beyond filenames: full-text inside PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WPS • More precise than Spotlight: wildcards, regex, boolean, filter by extension/size/date • Pinyin: find Chinese filenames by full pinyin or initials
[CONTENT INDEX · SUPPORTED FORMATS] PDF · Word (doc/docx) · Excel (xls/xlsx) · PowerPoint (ppt/pptx) · WPS · RTF · OpenDocument (odt/ods/odp) · Markdown/plain text · code & config (100+ extensions: Swift, Python, Java, JS, HTML, JSON, YAML, CSV, logs…)
[LIGHTNING FAST] • Instant-as-you-type results • Live incremental updates as files change — the index is always fresh, never rebuilt
[EXTRAS] Quick Look, highlighted preview, duplicate finder, CSV export, global hotkey (⌥Space), launch at login
[PRIVACY FIRST] Fully local index: no network entitlement, no collection, no upload. Your files stay yours.
Note: due to App Store sandboxing, FlitFind indexes only folders you explicitly grant access to (multiple supported; grants persist across launches).
