Spootylight Turns Mac Search Into a Workbench

Field notes

The homepage describes a global palette that combines filename and document-content search with filters for file type, folder, and relative date. Search results can be opened, revealed in Finder, previewed with Space, collected across searches, or passed into batch rename actions. Its examples include “images in Downloads this week,” “ai apps,” and “cd ~/Projects,” while the documented platform target is macOS 13+ on Apple silicon. The page presents a one-time $5 purchase rather than a subscription.
