Hey Product Hunt, I'm Himanshu, and I built FileDial.

Every week I'd need to shrink a PDF, convert a HEIC, trim a video or strip location from a photo, and every time it meant googling a converter, uploading something private to a site I didn't trust, and waiting. The FBI has even warned that free online converters are being used to spread malware.

So I put the tools where the files already are. Click any file in Finder and a dial opens with only the tools that fit that file. Click one and it runs, right on your Mac.

What's inside:

  • 525 tools across PDFs, photos, video, audio, documents, spreadsheets, subtitles and archives

  • Nothing is uploaded. Every tool works with Wi-Fi off

  • Results save beside the original, and every action has Undo

  • Batch: select 300 photos, run one tool

  • Recipes chain tools, and watched folders run them automatically

Pricing: try every tool free for 1 day, no card, no account. Then $20 once, for 2 Macs, with a 14-day refund. No subscription.

Needs macOS 14+ on Apple silicon.

I'd love to know: which file chore do you still open a website for? If FileDial can't do it yet, tell me and I'll add it.
