Questions

Something else on your mind? Email support@findglance.com.

Does FindGlance upload my files?

No. Indexing, text recognition, duplicate checks and search all run on your Mac. FindGlance only goes online to check your license and look for updates, and neither sends anything about your files.

Why does macOS ask for access to my folders?

macOS protects Desktop, Documents and Downloads, so any app that shows your files has to ask first. You can choose which folders FindGlance looks at in Settings.

What happens when the trial ends?

FindGlance keeps working as a free viewer. You can still browse, preview, search by file name, see where downloads came from and see what Clean Up and Duplicates found. Pro unlocks plain-English search, text search inside images and PDFs, Copy Text, similar photos and Move to Trash in bulk.

Is it a subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time payment: $9 for the first 100 buyers, then $19. It includes every 1.x update. If there’s ever a version 2, owners get it at half price.

How many Macs can I use it on?

Up to 3 Macs per license. Getting a new Mac? Choose Deactivate This Mac on the old one, then activate the new one with the same key.

Will FindGlance delete anything on its own?

Never. You confirm every removal, and files go to the Trash, so you can put them back.

Does it replace Finder?

It works alongside Finder. Use FindGlance to find and tidy, and Show in Finder whenever you want the classic view.

What do I need to run it?

A Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later. FindGlance runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Email us within 14 days of buying and we’ll refund you, no questions asked.

What about files stored only in iCloud?

Files that aren’t downloaded to your Mac are skipped for text recognition and duplicate checks, and left out of Clean Up, because moving them to the Trash would free no space.

Stop digging through folders.
