About:
ProFind is a powerful, fast, and feature-rich file search utility for macOS. It leverages advanced metadata indexing and Spotlight integration to locate files with precision. Its main value proposition is providing instant results and granular filtering capabilities that surpass the native Finder search.
Key Features:
  • Instant search results with advanced filtering
  • Supports complex boolean queries and metadata criteria
  • Dual-pane interface for efficient file comparison and management
  • Integration with macOS Spotlight for deep system searching
Use Cases:
  • Locating specific project files among thousands of assets
  • Finding documents based on content, tags, or creation date
  • Managing and organizing large digital libraries
Alternatives:
  • Hazel – Hazel focuses on automated file organization and tagging, whereas ProFind is primarily a manual search and discovery tool.
  • Finder Search – The native macOS search is simpler and faster for basic queries, but lacks the advanced filtering and query logic of ProFind.
