I was tired of pressing ⌘ + i all the time so I built this! It monitors clicks, and arrow key presses to keep track of the currently selected file. It displays all the metadata found in the menu bar or in the panel inspector.

@gregory_wehmeyer Thank you! I made sure to keep the package size small! I was surprised myself at the size when I packaged it lol

Hello! I'm the creator of Informant. It's free, so try it out and see what you think! It took me around four months to make this, working on it off and on. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! Hopefully, you find it useful! 🥳

@csaba_kissi Thank you! I haven't open sourced the code quite yet but I think I'm going to. I released it for free because I got rejected on the Mac App Store with no way around it so I sort of released this impulsively lol
