Hello Everyone,
Problem 🤔 - Not realizing, we often spend small chunks of time finding and opening frequently used items like file, folders, apps. Collectively, it costs us a lot of our productive time during the day. Also, it breaks the work's rhythm and adds frustration when we don't find the right information at the right time.
Solution 🧐 - EasyFinder 2.
EasyFinder 2 is a nifty app to increase all mac users' productivity by bringing all the essential items like files, folders, and apps in the menu bar, accessible by keyboard shortcuts. EasyFinder 2 lives in your menu bar and lets you "Organize and access important files, FAST."
📖 The previous version of EasyFinder was launched on Product Hunt. Since then, it is being used by more than 5000 users worldwide 🔥. Based on feedback and feature requests from EasyFinder users, EasyFinder 2 is developed from scratch. The idea is still the same - "Access your most important information, FAST" - but EasyFinder 2 comes with many features that will help you be more productive.
Do you often type and search files in Spotlight, or navigate a maze of folders to find your file in Finder? EasyFinder 2 helps you be more productive by bringing down the time to access your frequently used documents, folders, and apps and let you access them with just a keyboard shortcut or a mouse click.
You can use EasyFinder 2 to open all your essential files fast right when you need it, whether you are in the middle of work, in a conference call, in a screen share, or on a live stream.
If you only need quick info from your file, get it without even opening the file using the 👉 "QuickLook feature" to preview it.

Loved version 1. A real time saver. After installing v2 it seems like the folders I'd set up have gone.... I'm sure I can get 'em back and love version 2 as much if not more than version 1. 🙏
@tomastyner Thank you so much, Tomás, for your feedback. I am glad that you find EasyFinder helpful. EasyFinder 2 is a separate app from the previous version. However, EasyFinder 2 comes with the ability to import all your folders from EasyFinder v1. You can go to the Workspace settings and use the "Import from EasyFinder" feature. This will create a new workspace with all of your previous setups.
@tomastyner The Install routine deletes the old version. I restored the old version from a backup then clicked on "Import from EasyFinder" and my data appeared in the new app. Hope that helps
I have to deal with many files in the course of a day. EasyFinder saves me a lot of time and hassle clicking through nested folders looking for a file that I use frequently. It's so nice that all these files are only 2 clicks away. Sometimes I wish that it holds more than 9 links per category....maybe in EasyFinder3 ;-)
@elliot_a Hi Elliot, thanks for your feedback and I am really glad that you find EasyFinder helpful. I would love to get your feedback on EasyFinder 2, when you have used it a few times. Please also let me know if there are any features that you would like to see in the future versions.
@ht_tan Hello HT TAN, I am glad you liked EasyFinder 2. You can delete a workspace or a file/folder by swiping left on it. Please let me know if you have more questions and I will be happy to answer.
