"The lease from last spring." "Photos from the lake trip." "That spreadsheet with the budget." Finder and File Explorer only search names. Capstone Files reads what is inside every document, scan, spreadsheet and photo on your computer, so the thing you saved months ago and can't remember the name of is one search away.
Watch the full tutorial — installing, choosing folders, searching, opening results.
Every word in your PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets and notes. Scanned pages and photos of documents are read automatically too, so a picture of a receipt is as searchable as a typed one.
"Tax forms from 2024." "Photos taken in Austin." "PDFs from last month." It reads the dates inside documents and the places photos were taken, so you search the way you remember things.
Already use Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or Box? Capstone Files finds those folders on its own and searches them too. Nothing to connect, nothing to sign in to.
Everything stays on your computer. No file, file name or search is ever uploaded anywhere.
Flip one switch and open the same search on your iPad at home, behind a passcode. Your computer does the work; the iPad is the screen.
Install it, allow it to read your files, click Index. Everything is listed within minutes and search works while it fills. Mac and Windows, up to three computers.
