ShelfNavigator

Your files spread across folders, external drives and years of downloads. ShelfNavigator indexes the folders you register and shows all of them as one browsable, searchable shelf. ONE VIEW ACROSS EVERYTHING Register any number of folders — internal, external, network. They appear together in a single grid. No copying, no importing, no reorganising: your files stay exactly where they are. BUILT FOR LARGE COLLECTIONS The catalogue is a local index, so hundreds of thousands of files stay smooth to scroll and instant to search. New and changed files are picked up automatically in the background. SEARCH THAT NARROWS FAST Type plain words, or be precise: beach ext:png size>10mb kind:video duration>60 tag:family modified:2024 Filter by size, dimensions, duration and date from a panel, or by Finder tag from the sidebar. IMAGES, VIDEO AND TEXT A tile grid with adjustable thumbnails, and a preview mode with a filmstrip. Video plays inside the app, including formats QuickTime will not open. Text files show their contents. RAW photos are supported. WORKS WITH THE FINDER, NOT AGAINST IT Finder tags are read and listed in the sidebar. Reveal any file in the Finder. Choose which app opens each kind of file, without changing your system defaults. FIND DUPLICATES Compare files across every registered folder by content, not by name. Before anything is moved, the files involved are read in full and compared again. SAFE BY DEFAULT ShelfNavigator never erases a file. Deleting moves it to the Trash, and Command-Z puts it straight back for as long as the app stays open. It has no network access at all, so nothing about your files can leave your Mac.
