FAQ
Frequently asked questions about MacSeeker
Is MacSeeker free?
MacSeeker includes a 3-day free trial with every feature unlocked. After the trial, it's a one-time purchase of $4.99 — no subscription, no recurring charges.
What file types can MacSeeker search inside?
MacSeeker searches inside plain text files (.txt, .csv, .log, .json, .xml, source code), PDFs, and Microsoft Office documents (.docx, .xlsx). More formats are being added regularly.
Does it require an internet connection?
No. MacSeeker works entirely offline. It searches your local filesystem directly — no cloud services, no indexing servers, no account needed.

What macOS versions are supported?
MacSeeker requires macOS 25 (Tahoe) or later and runs on Apple Silicon Macs.
How is this different from Agent Ransack?
Agent Ransack is Windows-only and there's nothing like it built into macOS. MacSeeker was built to fill that gap — separate file name and content search fields, full regex and wildcard support, Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), advanced filters, and highlighted match previews. Same power user workflow, native to the Mac.
Is MacSeeker a direct replacement for Agent Ransack on Mac?
Yes — MacSeeker was built specifically for users who relied on Agent Ransack on Windows and switched to Mac. It replicates the core workflow: separate filename and content search fields, full regex and wildcard support, Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), advanced filters by date, size, and type, and highlighted match previews. Agent Ransack is Windows-only; MacSeeker is the native macOS equivalent.
Does MacSeeker require indexing like Spotlight or DocFetcher?
No. MacSeeker searches your filesystem directly — no indexing setup, no waiting for an index to build. Open the app, choose a folder, and start searching immediately.
Does MacSeeker support case-sensitive search?
Yes. You can toggle case sensitivity for both filename and content searches.
