Finder shows you folders. Peekaboo shows you your Mac — every file as one calm library. Press Cmd-F and type in plain English: “pdfs from last week over 5 MB” becomes visible filters. It reads text inside screenshots and PDFs on-device, groups downloads by source, and finds duplicates. Clean Up finds forgotten downloads, unused apps and big videos — every cleanup undoable in one click. Files never leave your Mac. No account. Free 14 days.
