AtlasFiles is private AI file search for your Mac. Describe any file in plain English to find it — or ask a question and get the answer from inside your PDFs, Word docs and spreadsheets. Everything stays on your Mac.
For Mac — Apple Silicon & Intel·Free 7-day trial · no card
Real screenshots from the app. Press ⌥ Space in any app to search or ask.
AtlasFiles indexes your Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures and Movies — on your computer, in the background.
A search bar appears over whatever you’re doing. Type a name, a phrase, or a question.
Open it, reveal it, copy the path. Ask a question and get the exact value, with the sentence it came from.
“PDFs from last month”, “photos larger than 10 MB”, “invoices in Downloads”. AtlasFiles turns plain English into filters for type, date, size and folder — and searches inside documents, not just file names.
Ask “when does my passport expire?” and get 2 May 2031 — plus the exact sentence and the file it came from. Dates, amounts, policy numbers, PNRs and emails, pulled straight from the page.
AtlasFiles finds your passports, visas, insurance, warranties and leases, reads their expiry dates, and reminds you 60, 30 and 7 days before anything lapses — whenever AtlasFiles is running, which it can do quietly from login. It also flags IDs left sitting in Downloads.
Byte-for-byte matching finds the same file saved again and again across folders. AtlasFiles keeps the original, shows you every extra copy, and asks before moving any of them to the Trash.
Where your space goes, what changed this month, how many sensitive documents you keep — and the big files you haven’t opened in months.
Preview PDFs and images without leaving the app. Pull editable text out of a scan or photo with on-device OCR, then export it as Markdown, plain text or PDF. The original file is never changed.
Finder and Spotlight only show your files. The real space hogs stay hidden: months of AI coding sessions, caches that rebuild themselves, developer toolchains and apps you stopped using. Storage Saver finds them and frees the part that’s safe to remove.
Claude Code sessions and checkpoints · Codex sessions and old runtimes · Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor caches · Hugging Face model cache
Xcode DerivedData, device support and simulators · npm, pnpm, Yarn and Bun · pip and uv · Homebrew · Gradle, Cargo and CocoaPods · Playwright and Puppeteer browsers
Apps you haven’t opened in 90+ days · old app logs · your largest files and videos · installers and archives · big files left in Downloads
Local AI models (Ollama, LM Studio) and Xcode archives are shown so you know they’re there, but never cleaned automatically. Hidden-storage cleanup only touches caches, sessions, logs and old versions — never your documents.
The index, the search, the answers and the OCR all run on your device. The only thing AtlasFiles sends to our server is a license check — never a file, a file name or a word of what’s inside. If you turn on AI Access, the assistant you connect reads what it needs under its own terms.
Indexing, answers and OCR use your computer’s own processor.
No connection needed to search, ask, preview or clean up. Pro checks your license online about once a month.
OneDrive and Google Drive are opt-in and indexed by name only until you open a file.
Every cleanup goes to the Trash, after you review it.
Turn on AI Access and AtlasFiles connects your local index to Claude Desktop and Codex. Your assistant can search your files, find answers and read the documents you’ve indexed — straight from your computer, read-only, and off with one switch.
No subscription, no renewals. One price for every Pro feature.

No. Indexing, search, answers and OCR all run on your Mac, and no cloud AI model reads your documents. The only thing that reaches our server is your license check — never your files, their names or their contents.
Spotlight is great for opening apps and files by name. AtlasFiles is built for your documents: it turns plain-English requests like “PDFs from last month” into exact filters, reads inside PDFs and Office files to answer questions with the sentence the answer came from, and adds tools Spotlight doesn’t have — Important Docs expiry reminders, a Duplicate Cleaner, Storage Saver and Smart Insights.
Nothing until you turn it on — it’s off by default. When it’s on, Claude Desktop or Codex on your Mac can search and read the files AtlasFiles has indexed, read-only, when you ask them to. Those assistants follow their own privacy terms. Turn it off any time with one switch.
For 7 days you can search, use quick search (⌥ Space), get answers from your documents and use Preview & OCR. Important Docs, Duplicate Cleaner, Storage Saver, Smart Insights and AI Access unlock with the lifetime purchase.
One license covers 1 computer at a time. New computer or a reinstall? Connect it and the license moves over. You can also remove a computer from your account page.
It searches the names of supported files — documents, images, audio, video, archives and more — in the folders you choose, and reads the text inside PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), text, Markdown, CSV and HTML files. Scans and photos can be turned into text with OCR.
It checks 30+ places file search never shows: AI tool sessions (Claude Code, Codex), app and browser caches, developer caches (Xcode, npm, Homebrew and more) and apps you haven’t opened in months. It only offers what’s safe to remove — sessions older than 30 days, caches that rebuild themselves and outdated versions, always keeping the one in use. Everything goes to the Trash, so you can put it back.
AtlasFiles looks for the passage in your indexed documents that matches your question and pulls out the value — a date, an amount, an ID or an email — showing the sentence and file it came from. It reads your documents; it doesn’t make things up.
AtlasFiles runs on Macs with Apple Silicon or Intel. A Windows version is planned.
All sales are final, so please try AtlasFiles free for 7 days before buying. If you were charged by mistake — for example, twice for the same license — email us and we’ll fix it.
