Filegazer for Mac

Overview

Filegazer provides a sleek way to browse the files on your computer, making it faster to reach the documents and media you use most. Its design focuses on minimal interaction: hover around the edges of your screen and the folders you’ve selected slide into view.

Quick access with simple gestures

Move your mouse to the desktop margins and the tool exposes the folders you chose. Instead of opening a file manager and hunting through directories, you get near-instant access to your folders from any workspace.

Personalize which folders appear

You control which directories are shown and on which edge of the display they appear. Arrange the panels to suit your workflow so the content you need is always one hover away.

Open items and inspect without launching them

To inspect a folder’s contents, drag it outward to expand. The app’s standout capability is its live preview: media and documents can be examined without starting their native applications — MP3s, videos and other file types can be previewed directly.

Highlights and benefits

• Instant previews for many file types so you can check content without launching apps.
• Drag-to-expand panels for fast browsing of folder contents.
• Edge-triggered panels that keep your desktop uncluttered while remaining quickly accessible.
• Fully configurable placement and selection of folders to match how you work.
