Cling Fuzzy Finder

Instant fuzzy find any file, act on it in the same instant.

Find any file instantly

Cling leverages the power of fd and fzf to provide lightning-fast fuzzy searching of your entire filesystem.

Unlike Spotlight, Raycast, or Alfred, Cling can find system files, hidden files, dotfiles, app data, and more files that the Spotlight index doesn't include.

Act on selected files

With Cling's keyboard-centric approach, perform any action on files with quick hotkeys - no mouse required.

Use Quick Filters to narrow down results without typing common queries, and apply predefined actions like Open with…, copy paths, batch rename, or QuickLook.

Create your own custom actions with scripts in any programming language you prefer. Each script gets a pre-assigned hotkey so you can execute them instantly on your search results.

Everything for Mac

Cling strives to be similar to the popular Everything app from Windows, with macOS native integration and a focus on power users.

The UI is designed to be minimalistic and distraction-free, with a focus on keyboard shortcuts and fast rendering instead of pretty animations.

Index only what you need

Cling allows you to exclude files from the index, so you can keep your search results clean and focused.

The ~/.fsignore file lets you specify gitignore patterns for excluding files and folders from the index.

You can also disable whole indexes like System files or Library folders to speed up the search and reduce memory usage.
