Field notes
The described index stores names, dates, sizes, and previews already present in each file, with sharper previews generated later while the Mac is idle. Workspaces group drives and folders by client or project, and the page says they can be switched with Command 1 through 9. It lists macOS 14 or later as required and labels the app a public beta.
