Some things will be broken. _Caveat emptor!_**\n\nMac power-user app to quickly find files on entire APFS and HFS+ volumes by scanning the file system catalog.\n\nDo you miss the good ol’ days before Spotlight, when search on the Mac simply scanned the filesystem? Yeah, me too.\n\nUnlike Spotlight, KatSearch performs *no indexing* and only looks at filenames, not content. It uses a fast low-level kernel call to search the *entire* file system via the APFS or HFS+ file system catalog.\n\n* Fast, native, modern macOS app with a responsive, powerful, no-nonsense interface\n* Displays live search results\n* Scans the actual file system, not just the userland files Apple wants you to see\n* Can run with admin privileges to find all files irrespective of permissions\n* Ubiquitous native drag and drop behaviour, with hooks into Finder actions/services via contextual menu\n* Supports all the standard Finder keyboard shortcuts for file actions\n* Search windows can be invoked using a global hotkey\n* Includes [`searchfs`](https://github.com/sveinbjornt/searchfs), a command line tool counterpart\n* Free, open source software written in Objective-C/Cocoa\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick\u0026hosted_button_id=BDT58J7HYKAEE\"\u003e\u003cimg align=\"right\" src=\"https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-640-20110306-1/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif\" \u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\n**If you find this program useful, please support continued development by [making a donation](https://sveinbjorn.org/donations).**\n\n## Downloads\n\nThis is an early **alpha** release for testing purposes only. Some things will be broken.\n\n*  **[⇩ Download KatSearch 0.1a](https://sveinbjorn.org/files/software/katsearch.zip)** (~0.8 MB, Intel 64-bit, 10.10 or later)\n\nTo test the absolutely latest in-development version, clone this repository and run the following command from the repo root:\n\n```\n$ make\n```\n\nThe built application can be found in  `products/`.\n\n## Screenshots\n\n\u003cimg src=\"screenshots/katsearch_screenshot1.jpg\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n\n## BSD License \n\nCopyright (C) 2018-2021 Sveinbjorn Thordarson \u0026lt;\u003ca href=\"mailto:\"\u003esveinbjorn@sveinbjorn.org\u003c/a\u003e\u0026gt;\n\nRedistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification,\nare permitted provided that the following conditions are met:\n\n1.
