About:
Recents is a fast, keyboard-driven file launcher for macOS that indexes your local files for instant access.

The tool prioritizes speed and efficiency for developers and power users.
Key Features:
  • Instant file search and launching
  • Keyboard-centric workflow
  • Application and file type integration
  • Minimalist user interface
Use Cases:
  • Quickly opening project files and folders

Alternatives:
  • Spotlight – macOS native search, less configurable for keyboard workflows
  • Alfred – More features but heavier; Recents is focused solely on file launching
