About:
Funter is a macOS system utility that reveals hidden files and folders in Finder with a single click. It provides a toggle switch in the Finder toolbar or menu bar, allowing users to quickly access system files for troubleshooting or development tasks. The tool also offers a dedicated section to manage and clean up large and obsolete files.
Key Features:
  • Toggle hidden file visibility directly in Finder
  • Menu bar item for quick access
  • Integrated large file scanner and cleaner
  • Simple and intuitive user interface
Use Cases:
  • Accessing dotfiles (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc) for configuration
  • Viewing system-level directories like /usr or /Library
  • Performing macOS maintenance or cleanup tasks
Alternatives:
  • defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles – Built-in macOS command-line method; requires restarting Finder and lacks a GUI toggle.
  • ShowHiddenFiles – Free alternative with similar core functionality for toggling hidden files.
