GLOBAL SHORTCUT / QUICK SEARCH

Keep your flow.
Call up your tools.

An idea should not mean a detour. While FileMint is running, call up Quick Search from another app. Find an action, template, favorite or setting, and carry on.

Copy the contents. Keep your flow.

Right-click a text file to copy its complete contents. Keep whitespace and line endings in code, Markdown and configuration files.

COMPLETE CONTENTS · ON YOUR MAC

Enable it in File & Folder Tools. Source and decoded text are each limited to 8 MiB; supported text and a limited RTF subset are accepted.

Create directly. Move smoothly.

Open creation drafts directly and change the destination in Save Location. Image previews fit their content, and rapid arrow keys keep settings selection in step.

Tab to navigate · ⌘↩ to create · Esc to cancel

Only Create writes a file. macOS still requests authorization when write access is missing.

01 / TAKE YOUR FILES FURTHER

Names in order.
Contents checked.

Batch Rename and File Info start off. Enable them in File & Folder Tools, then start organizing and checking from Finder.

Batch Rename

Bring a batch into order.

Replace text, add a numbering rule, or paste a list of names. Review every new name before you commit.

Example numbering rule · Review every name before renaming
  • Combine rules. Compare original and new names.
  • Keep extensions and hidden status. Conflicts block the batch.
  • Preview and undo the most recent successful rename.

File Info & checksums

Give that file a closer look.

Check the size, kind and dates, then calculate a checksum when you need it. Copy the result or compare it with an expected value.

Example SHA-256 result · File contents are read on your Mac
  • Opening shows metadata. Calculation starts with your click.
  • SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1 and MD5, individually or in one pass.
  • Cancel, copy, or compare using one algorithm.

02 / KEEP YOUR FLOW

Start right here.
Finish right here.

No new workspace to learn. Just the right action, in the place you are already working.

01

Find your starting point

Create in the current folder, or select files to work on. Every action has a clear destination.

02

Right-click. Pick an action.

Keep favorites in the main menu and tuck other tools into submenus. Make room for what matters.

03

Done. Back to your work.

Create your document, save a new image, or continue in an app you know.

04 / WORK WITH CONFIDENCE

Make it picture-ready.
Keep the original.

Convert your assets, resize a batch, or extract the words inside an image. See the preview and destination. Save the result as a separate copy.

  • Conversion, compression and resizing
  • Icons, stitching and text recognition

02

Only when you ask

No background folder crawling or clipboard monitoring. Paste actions read content only when you choose them.

You choose the tools

No account or usage analytics. Enable the tools you need. The app can check weekly for updates; downloads and installation are up to you.

05 / BEFORE YOU START

A few useful
things to know.

Installation guide ↗
Will it work on my Mac?

The current stable app supports M-series Macs running macOS 13 or later. For Intel Macs, see the historical compatibility notes in the installation guide.

Is FileMint free?

Personal, educational, research and other non-commercial use is free. Commercial use requires prior written authorization or a separate commercial license. Donations do not grant commercial rights.

Why is the menu missing in Finder?

Check that the Finder extension is enabled and the current folder is in your configured menu scope. Grant access to the relevant folder when prompted. Available tools depend on your selection.

Do I need to enable everything?

Use just what you need. Finder integration for file and image tools starts off, and menu placement is configurable. You can still create files and process images in the app.

Are my files uploaded?

File creation, batch renaming, checksums, image processing and OCR run on your Mac, without uploading files for processing. Clipboard content is read only when you choose a paste action. The app can check weekly for updates; downloads and installation are your choice.
