9 scanners. AI-powered search. Duplicate detection. Workflow automation. All running locally on your Mac — no cloud, no subscriptions.
FileAware scans, classifies, and organizes every file on your Mac using on-device AI — no data ever leaves your computer.
Find exact and fuzzy duplicates across all drives. Auto-select the best copies, preview side-by-side, and reclaim hundreds of gigabytes in a single click.
Ask questions in plain English. "What's taking up the most space?" — get instant answers from a local AI model running entirely on your Mac. Bring your own API key for cloud models.
Every image classified by on-device Vision AI. Browse by scene type — outdoors, people, architecture, food — with face detection and clustering.
Full music library with waveform visualization, inline playback, album art, BPM detection, and metadata editing. Browse by artist, album, genre, or codec.
Describe what you want in plain English — the AI builds a node-based workflow. Move, copy, rename, tag, and organize files on a schedule.
Interactive dashboard with file timelines, kind breakdowns, and recoverable space analysis. See exactly where your storage goes — by type, date, and folder.
FileAware runs a local AI model directly on your hardware. No cloud processing, no telemetry, no accounts. Your file data stays on your machine — always.
Optionally bring your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or Ollama) for more powerful responses — but the choice is always yours.
* Local AI model powered by Google Gemma, running on-device via Apple's MLX framework.
Tell the AI what you want in plain English. It generates a visual, node-based workflow you can review, customize, and schedule.
No. Everything runs locally on your Mac. The AI model runs on-device via Apple's MLX framework. No data is ever sent to any server unless you explicitly choose to use a cloud AI provider via BYOK (Bring Your Own Key).
FileAware requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) and an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later). The local AI model uses approximately 2.5 GB of disk space and runs efficiently on all Apple Silicon chips.
Yes. Add any mounted volume as a source folder — external drives, NAS mounts, USB drives. FileAware uses security-scoped bookmarks to maintain access across app launches.
FileAware uses SHA-256 hashing for exact duplicates (byte-identical files) and perceptual hashing for fuzzy duplicates (visually similar images). You can preview both files side-by-side before taking any action.
No. FileAware is a one-time purchase from the Mac App Store. All features — including the local AI model — are included. Cloud AI (BYOK) uses your own API keys at your own cost.
All of them. FileAware indexes images, videos, audio, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, code, archives, fonts, installers, and more. Specialized scanners extract metadata for each type.
