Homy:一款替代 macOS Finder 的文件管理应用
Show HN: The Finder alternative you've been looking for
Homy 是一款 macOS 文件管理应用,以缩略图浏览和自然语言搜索替代 Finder 的文件名列表,支持按类型、日期、大小和来源筛选文件。它还能通过 Apple Vision 框架搜索截图中的文字、按下载来源归类文件、用 SHA-256 指纹查找重复文件并清理旧安装包等垃圾文件。
Your Mac’s files, finally beautiful.
Finder shows you a list of filenames. Homy shows you your stuff. Big, clear thumbnails for everything, and a search that understands plain English.

Built for the way you actually lose files.
Five things Finder can’t do, each one a shortcut away.
1Natural-language search
Type it the way you’d say it.
Homy turns “pdfs from last week” into filters you can see: little chips for type, date, size and source. No folders to remember, no syntax to learn.
- Understands type, date, size and where a file came from
- Shows how it read your query, so there are no surprises
- Matches filenames, tags and the text inside files
Search
2Text in images
Search the words inside your screenshots.
Homy reads the text in your screenshots and recent photos right on your Mac, using Apple’s Vision framework. That Wi-Fi password, the tracking number, the quote you saw once: just search for it.
- Copy all the text from one or several images and PDFs
- Hover any image for a Copy Text button
- Open a preview and turn on Select Text to grab just the words you need

Copied text from 1 image
AMBITION WITHOUT
ACTION BECOMES
ANXIETY.
3Downloaded From
Remember where it came from.
Every download, grouped by where you got it: Gmail, Google Drive, ChatGPT, Canva, X, Slack, WhatsApp, GitHub, browser extensions or any website.
- A “From” filter appears in any list that has downloads
- The Inspector shows each file’s source
- Find that invoice by remembering the email, not the filename

4Duplicates
One copy is plenty.
Homy finds identical files by their content (SHA-256 fingerprints) and look-alike photos too: bursts, edits and HEIC/JPEG pairs, using Vision feature prints.
- See exactly how much you’ll free up
- Homy picks a copy to keep. Click another to change it
- The rest go to the Trash. iCloud-only files are skipped, so nothing gets downloaded
Duplicates
5Clean Up
Gigabytes back, safely.
Smart cards on the Home screen point out old installers, forgotten downloads, old screenshots, big old videos and apps you don’t use anymore.
- Each card opens a review page with Trash All or Trash Selected
- Old .dmg and .pkg installers you already installed
- Files go to the Trash, never deleted outright
