Finder shows you a list of filenames. Homy shows you your stuff. Big, clear thumbnails for everything, and a search that understands plain English.
macOS 14+ · Apple silicon & Intel · Homy is a Mac app
Images, videos, music, documents, archives and apps. Each one gets its own shelf, so you can see what you have at a glance.
No folders to dig through and no syntax to learn. Homy shows you exactly how it understood you.
Example search: pdfs from last week over 5 mb

Five things Finder can’t do, each one a shortcut away.
1Natural-language search
Homy turns “pdfs from last week” into filters you can see: little chips for type, date, size and source. No folders to remember, no syntax to learn.
⌘FSearch
2Text in images
Homy reads the text in your screenshots and recent photos right on your Mac, using Apple’s Vision framework. That Wi-Fi password, the tracking number, the quote you saw once: just search for it.

Smart cards on the Home screen point out old installers, forgotten downloads, old screenshots, big old videos and apps you don’t use anymore.
⇧⌘KClean Up
Duplicates + Clean Up
Homy finds the stuff you forgot about and shows you what it’s worth. You review it, you decide. Everything goes to the Trash, so you can always put it back.
Example scan. Your numbers will depend on your Mac.
The little things that make it feel like home.
Totals for every category, plus shelves of your recent photos, videos, music and documents.
Recents, Images, Videos, Music, Documents, Archives, Apps, Smart Folders for Large Files and Screenshots, plus pinned folders.
Switch views, drag the thumbnail size slider, and sort by name, date, size or kind.
Double-click or press Space. Use ← and → to step through files, Esc to close.
Double-click a song and it plays right in the toolbar. ⌘← and ⌘→ to skip.
A live preview plus the details: dimensions, duration, camera and download source.
Quick Look, Open, Show in Finder, Pin to Sidebar, Copy, Copy Path, Move to Trash.
Drag any file out of Homy and into Mail, Slack, Figma or wherever it needs to go.
New versions download in the background and install when you quit. Nothing to babysit.
For keyboard people
Homy looks at your files so you don’t have to. It never sends them anywhere.
All text recognition and duplicate detection runs on your Mac. No account, no cloud, no uploads.
Clean Up and Duplicates move files to the Trash. Changed your mind? Put them back.
Files that only live in the cloud are skipped during scans, so nothing gets downloaded.
Built in SwiftUI. Small and fast, about a 5 MB download.
Signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS knows it’s safe to open.
Follows your Mac’s appearance, and looks good either way.
Runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
One price. Every feature. Yours to keep.

No. Homy works alongside Finder. It’s a nicer way to see and search your files, and “Show in Finder” is always one click away.
No. Text recognition, search and duplicate detection all run on your Mac. Your files never leave it. The only network calls Homy makes are the license check and the update check.
Only when you choose to, and only by moving them to the Trash. Nothing is ever permanently deleted, so you can always put a file back.
macOS asks you to approve access to those folders. Homy needs it so it can show and search the files inside them. Nothing is uploaded.
macOS 14 Sonoma and later, on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
No. You pay once and keep it: $4.99 for early birds, $19 after the first 50 customers.
Yes. Open Homy › License…, choose “Deactivate this Mac”, then activate it on the new Mac with your license key.
Yes. The license only needs to check in occasionally, and Homy keeps working offline for up to 30 days in between.
Homy checks for updates once a day, downloads them in the background and installs them when you quit. Updates are free.
Email epictools.io@gmail.com and you’ll hear back from the person who made Homy.
Give your files a home that’s nice to look at, and easy to search.
