A little less looking.

Foldlark helps you find files by name and folder path on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Get started on Mac

Choose Add Folder and select a folder you want to search. Search names or full paths, use the filters, and click a column to sort. Press Space for Quick Look, or reveal a result in Finder. Refresh with Command-R after files change.

Use the Mac command line

In Foldlark, choose Use in Terminal, then paste the provided one-time PATH setup into Terminal. Run foldlark "*.pdf" to search the saved indexes. Run foldlark --help for sorting, location selection, and JSON output. The app must stay at the location used in your PATH setup.

Get started on iPhone and iPad

Tap Add Folder and select a folder using Files. Repeat for each location, then search All locations. Connect cloud accounts, drives, or servers in Files first. Each provider must support folder selection and reading; Foldlark cannot automatically access every connected location.

Missing or outdated results

Refresh after changing files. Reconnect unavailable drives or providers and add a folder again if its access has expired. Protected folders, symbolic links, and unsupported provider locations may be skipped. Mac scans stay on the selected volume. Mobile libraries have a 200,000-item limit and stop scanning in the background.

Privacy and previews

Search covers names and paths, not text inside documents. Foldlark does not edit, move, or delete originals. Mobile previews and shares use temporary copies; opening a cloud file may download it through your provider. See the privacy policy.

Contact support

Email support@trilonapps.com. Include your device, operating system, Foldlark version, and steps to reproduce the issue. Describe the storage provider if relevant. Please omit private file names, file contents, passwords, and account tokens.

Requires macOS 14 or later, or iOS/iPadOS 15 or later.
