FileMinutes

FileMinutes provides a focused search interface for macOS that lets users locate files by name, type, or content within specific folders, then narrow results interactively. Users can type a folder path directly, apply file‑type filters such as extensions or smart categories, and move through results with arrow keys, entering or exiting directories without leaving the search bar. The app also offers quick actions like opening, revealing in Finder, or launching QuickLook, and it stores recent searches and favorites for fast reuse.

The utility is aimed at macOS professionals, students, and anyone who regularly navigates large file collections. It integrates with Finder, supports both Intel and Apple Silicon, and requires macOS 13 or later. By keeping the workflow within a single window, it reduces the steps needed compared with native Finder or Spotlight searches.

FileMinutes emphasizes user control over data: it does not track usage and keeps all file operations local. Features such as global search filters, path navigation, and on‑the‑fly narrowing are designed to streamline everyday file handling tasks on the Mac.
