Hey Hunters, Built Finda because Spotlight kept failing me at the worst times — I'd know the file was right there in ~/Projects/old/2022/draft.md and Spotlight would just… shrug. So I spent months building a native Mac file-search app from scratch. SQLite FTS5 for the index, FSEvents for live updates, SwiftUI for the UI. Indexes every drive (yes, external too — Spotlight skips those) and returns results before you finish typing. Things I'm proud of: • 100% local. No cloud, no telemetry, no phone-home. • 14-day trial that doesn't crippleware-gate basics — full app. • $19.99 lifetime, one-time. v1.x updates free forever. • Ed25519-signed licenses with offline activation. Genuinely curious — what kind of files do you lose most often? Code? Screenshots? External-drive stuff? Going to use the answers to shape v1.1. Happy to AMA on the architecture, the trial + licensing design, or the solo indie-launch process.
