Hey Product Hunt!
I built LastFile because of a tiny annoyance I kept running into every day: I'd save, export, download, or generate a file, switch to something else, and a minute later I'd be digging through Finder trying to find it again.
I wanted something simpler: I just made this file — now let me do something with it.
That's what LastFile became. It sits quietly in the macOS menu bar and watches only the folders you choose. When a new or updated file appears, it's immediately available to open, reveal in Finder, copy, copy its path, or — my favorite — drag & drop straight into another app.
I deliberately kept it small and local-first. There's no account, no cloud, no tracking in the app, and no subscription.
This is my first app released on the Mac App Store after 20+ years of building software, and getting it from a tiny idea all the way through development, design, App Store review, and launch has been a fun ride.
I'd love to hear what you think — especially what workflows you'd use LastFile for, or what you'd like to see in future versions.
