Hello Everyone, Problem πŸ€” - 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." πŸ“– The previous version of EasyFinder was launched on Product Hunt. Since then, it is being used by more than 5000 users worldwide πŸ”₯. 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 πŸ‘‰ "QuickLook feature" to preview it. Key features πŸš€ ------------- β€’ Create individual Workspace for Work, Personal, Side Projects, Live Streaming, and many more to organize essential items. β€’ Add Items by dragging and dropping them β€’ QuickLook feature to preview the file's content without opening them. β€’ Keyboard shortcuts for quick and fast access to items β€’ Re-order items within a category via dragging. β€’ Touch Bar support that displays all your Workspaces and lets you quickly switch between them. β€’ In-built convenience keyboard shortcuts to open common Apple apps. E.g., M to open Messages, N for Notes. Full list of shortcuts in the About screen in preferences. β€’ Backwards compatibility with EasyFinder - Import all items from EasyFinder. Importing creates a new workspace and add all items from EasyFinder into EasyFinder 2.

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. πŸ™

@tomastyner Thank you so much, TomΓ‘s, 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 ;-)

Great app, but how do I delete a workspace or files/folders in a workspace?
Prashant Nigam
@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.
