Privacy

Your files
stay yours.

FinderBuddy is designed around local processing. Your personal files don't need to be uploaded to a random website just to perform a simple task.

Local-first by design

Nothing leaves your Mac.

Compressing a passport scan or locking a tax return shouldn't mean handing it to a stranger's server. FinderBuddy does the work right where your files already live.

  • Local-first

    Files are processed directly on your Mac.

  • Private

    No accounts, no uploads, no file tracking.

  • Fast

    No waiting on a browser upload or download.
