    With Leap you find things based on your natural memory of that file. “Hhmm it was a big photoshop file of a basketball court” or “Something I tagged important” or “A word document somewhere in my documents folder”.

    FoxTrot uses one or multiple dedicated indexes, focused on the files related to your projects, instead of relying on Spotlight's index. It has very advanced searching, refining and previewing abilities.

    The Spotlight Search Metadata on your Mac is a truly remarkable thing. Given some text it is able to find all occurrences anywhere on the filesystem in the blink of an eye. At that this point your options are limited however.
