Everywhere is a Mac menu bar search utility that indexes every file on the system for rapid discovery across documents, photos, downloads, Mail attachments, and external drives. Results appear in under 10ms, triggered by the ⌥ Space shortcut. ($19, one-time)
The app runs without a Dock presence or window management overhead, operating quietly in the background. Advanced filtering syntax supports file extensions, size parameters, and path specifications to narrow results quickly. Keyboard shortcuts handle common file operations, Finder access, and terminal commands from within the search interface.
A notable capability is indexing Mail attachments and Photos libraries as searchable entries, alongside data from external drives that are not currently plugged in. This allows searching across a complete file history without needing to reconnect hardware.
All processing is local. The app connects to no servers and collects no analytics or account data. Storage overhead is minimal even when indexing millions of files.
System requirements: macOS required. Available via direct download at everywherefast.com.
Pricing: ($19, one-time purchase) with a free one-day trial providing full feature access.
Limitations: A one-day trial is available but may not be sufficient for users with large libraries who want to evaluate indexing performance. Pricing is per-device; no family or volume licensing is mentioned.
Alternatives: Spotlight (built-in, less comprehensive external drive support), HoudahSpot (advanced Spotlight front-end), Alfred (multi-function launcher with file search).
Suitable for users who search across large or distributed file collections, including Mail attachments and external drives, and need consistent sub-second results without leaving the keyboard.
