Find Any File (FAF) 2.5.3 for Mac free Download (383)

Find Any File is a versatile search tool for macOS that allows users to locate files by name, creation/modification date, size, or type—offering a more in-depth search than Spotlight, especially for system and hidden files. Unlike Spotlight, Find Any File directly scans the selected disk, making it ideal for discovering files excluded from the typical macOS search, like those inside packages or system directories.

Unique Features:

  • Hierarchical View: Presents search results in a structured, folder-based view, ideal for organizing and browsing through large result sets.
  • Root-Level Access: Runs as a root user if needed, enabling a full search that includes hidden and system-protected files.
  • Direct Volume Search: Bypasses Spotlight’s database, which is beneficial for finding files not indexed by Spotlight.
  • Saved Searches: Allows users to save frequently used queries for easy re-running.

Limitations:

  • While powerful on HFS(+) volumes, it may be slower than Spotlight and performs best on directly connected drives rather than networked or remote volumes.

Compatibility: macOS 10.11 or later
