Scherlokk

• Scherlokk is a powerful file search utility for macOS that helps you quickly find files, folders, and content across local drives, external storage, network volumes, and iCloud Drive. Unlike Spotlight, Scherlokk searches real files directly, allowing it to locate hidden, system, and non-indexed items that other search tools may miss.

Advanced features include OCR text recognition for images and scanned documents, visually similar image search, file and folder comparison, and a built-in hex editor. Flexible filters let you narrow results by name, content, file type, size, and date, while flat and hierarchical views make it easy to locate exactly what you need.

Why use Scherlokk rather then Spotlight:

• • Scherlokk searches through 'real' files instead of the Spotlight's index. The index is not always up to date and does not contain all files.
• • Find visually similar pictures using an example image. Adjust similarity level, search multiple folders, exclude files and folders, and filter results by size or date.
• • OCR support recognizes and searches text inside images, scanned documents, screenshots, and photo-based files.
• • Extremely fast search engine finds your files quicker than competition.
• • Scherlokk shows search results in a flat or hierarchical view which helps to find out which file is the one you need and how files are located in the folders structure.
• • Clean and easy to use interface.
