reverscan
world's 1st reverse file search on mac (search by img/file)
reverscan is world's 1st local reverse file search for mac. it indexes text, images, PDFs, docs so you can search by content, keywords, or even screenshots. built with tauri, rust and react/typescript, it's built for super speed. seach external drives even when unplugged, search beyond text by indexing non-selectable texts & finds visually similar images. it supports multiple file types including *.ai, *.pdf, *.txt, *.md, *.docx, *.png, *.jpeg, *.xlsx, *.psd among others.
While running a design studio, my work involves sending files to clients and it's fairly normal for them to come back months or sometimes years later asking for edits.
By that time, they would have changed the filename, or sometimes they would just send a screenshot of the file they wanted edited.
This would mean searching through my emails, going through multiple hard-drives to find those files. And that would make locating those files next to impossible.
There have been times when I've spent days looking for files or genuinely gotten pissed off that they renamed my disciplined naming + finding system.
So I decided to make reverscan to fix this problem. I no longer need to care about file names or a disciplined storage hierarchy (though you should probably still do that for your own sanity).
I hope this brings you some peace of mind.
