Fetchy Download

The Finder alternative
that fetches.

You ask, Fetchy fetches. This is a messy Mac: ask for a file the way you’d say it, and watch it come to you.

vs Finder

Fetchy, or Finder?

Finder is fine for opening a folder. Here’s what it leaves to you.

Questions

Good to know.

Something else? support@tryfetchy.app

Does it replace Finder?

No, it sits beside it. Fetchy shows the same files, and “Show in Finder” is always one click away.

Does anything get uploaded?

No. There’s no account and no server. Text in images is read on your Mac. The app only goes online to check your licence and for updates.

Will it delete my files?

Never outright. Duplicates and Clean Up move files to the Trash, and you confirm first. They’ll wait in the Trash until you empty it.

Why does it ask for folder access?

macOS protects Desktop, Documents and Downloads. Fetchy needs permission to show what’s in them. You choose which folders, and can change that in Settings.

Can I try it before buying?

You can download it any time, but the app asks for a licence key when you first open it, so there’s no trial. If it isn’t for you after buying, there’s a 7-day refund, one email.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and keep it, with every 1.x update included. If it isn’t for you, there’s a 7-day refund, one email.

Can I use it on more than one Mac?

Yes. Pick 1, 3 or 5 Macs on the pricing card. You get one licence key, and you can move it to a new Mac from Settings.

What about files stored in iCloud?

They show up, but if a file lives only in iCloud, Fetchy won’t download it to check for duplicates, read its text or make a preview.

Which Macs does it run on?

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.

Is it on the Mac App Store?

Not yet. Download it here. Every release is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without warnings.

Your files already know what they are. Ask.

Pay once. No account. No subscription, ever. The app asks for a licence key when you open it.
