GoToFile is a fast, flexible and accurate utility to find files and folders on your Mac.

Fuzzy Search Type a few characters and GoToFile will show matching items instantaneous. Fuzzy Search means you can leave out characters and type only the more pregnant ones. It's just the order that matters. Typing upper-case characters will favour items with those characters at word boundaries. GoToFile can search by file name or by complete path.

Search everywhere GoToFile uses search sets called projects. A project consists of one or more folders to search and rules which state which subfolders are to be ignored and which items are to be excluded from or included in the index. Indexes are kept in memory and updated automatically.
Temporary filters Sometimes files or folders have very common names. You'll end up with a long list of similarly named items in different locations. In this case you can select path components (^?, ^?) and choose to focus on this path (?=) or exclude everything below it (?-) from the search result. This ad-hoc filter does not modify the project settings and can be easily reset (??).

Recent Items You just downloaded a file and want to open it? You just saved a file in one application and want to open it in another one? Open the search panel and press ?R to switch to Recent Items mode. GoToFile presents a searchable list of recently created/modified items ordered by creation/modification date in descending order.
