ZipSeek

Search inside files and nested archives on your Mac.

What it does

ZipSeek is a native macOS app for searching text inside folders, PDFs, Office documents, images, and nested ZIP, 7z, and RAR archives—without unpacking everything first. Results can point to PDF pages, Word paragraphs, PowerPoint slides, Excel cells, and OCR regions. Processing stays on your Mac, with no background full-disk index.

Search text and file names inside folders, PDF and Office documents, images with OCR, and nested ZIP, 7z, and RAR archives on your Mac.

Find text and file names across folders, PDF and Office documents, images, and nested archives—without unpacking every file or waiting for a full-disk index. ZipSeek is useful when opening and unpacking every candidate would take longer than the search itself. Search reports, references, and downloaded document collections without reorganizing them first. Trace a phrase through mixed folders, Office files, and the archives supplied by another team. Find names, clauses, and identifiers in old ZIP, 7z, and RAR packages while preserving the source path. ZipSeek follows the structure you already have instead of asking you to reorganize it first. Open a folder, a document, an image, or an…from goodapphq.com

    My Downloads folder had been left unkept for a really long time and cleaning it up using Finder was quite cumbersome. So I started creating a simple app to help me filter out and delete or move the files in the folder. It started out very basic and the filtering options genuinely helped me clean out the Downloads folder, then as I thought of more features I would like to see in a file manager I started to add them. Some of the features are: - Fuzzy go to folder/file where you only need to write a few letters of a full path, get suggestions and can jump to the correct path instantly -…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
