FileCura v2.0.

Highlights

• Free app, paid packs — six Finder Quick Actions free with the app, two optional packs available at £9 each.
• Auto-install on first launch — FileCura installs and enables its Quick Actions automatically. No manual setup step.
• Integrity watchdog — FileCura watches its installed Quick Actions and shows a Dashboard banner with a one-click Fix if anything goes missing.
• Runtime license gate — paid-pack workflows verify entitlement on every run, signed against an Ed25519 key bundled inside the app.
• Pack format — .filecurapack for distribution, .filecuralicense for entitlements. Both Ed25519-signed, both delivered by email after purchase.
• Signed and notarised DMG — Developer ID Application: Oluwaseni Sholanke (LDXQ9UCRVW). Distributed outside the Mac App Store.
• Local-first by design — no telemetry, no file uploads, no cloud account required for the app or any pack.

What's in the free FileCura app

FileCura ships with the Finder Productivity Pack — six Quick Actions, free for everyone:

1. Category Tagging — apply saved category keywords to Finder Comments and Spotlight metadata.
2. Single Tag Selector — pick a single tag from your saved categories and apply it.
3. Text & Comment Tools — bulk filename editing (prefix, suffix, separators, find & replace) and Finder Comment edits.
4. Smart Duplicate Scanner — flag likely duplicates by name, size, and extension.
5. Spotlight Path Refresher — nudge Spotlight to re-index after bulk metadata changes.
6. Clean Duplicate Comments — remove repeated lines from Finder Comments.

Plus the FileCura app itself: a Dashboard with health stats, a persistent local Categories store, a Quick Actions manager, an Automation Packs browser, and Settings with license import.

File Hygiene Pack — £9 add-on

Find clutter before deleting anything. Every workflow produces a review report; FileCura never auto-deletes.

• Duplicate Reports — SHA-256 cluster scan with a review report grouped by content hash.
• Old & Stale Files — surface files you haven't touched in months. Adjustable threshold.
• Large File Finder — rank files by size; adjustable size threshold.
• Downloads Tidy — review-and-execute plan for the Downloads folder.

Metadata Power Pack — £9 add-on

Deeper control over Finder metadata for power users who treat tags and comments like a database.

• Metadata Export — dump tags, label colours, and comments into a structured CSV.
• Metadata Import — apply a CSV back to your files in bulk.
• Tag Audit — report every tag in use, how often, and where.
• Comment Templates — reusable Finder Comment templates with multi-select.

System requirements

• macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Earlier versions are not formally supported.
• Apple silicon and Intel Macs supported.
• Roughly 30 MB of disk space for the app and bundled Quick Actions.
• For paid packs: a one-time purchase via Lemon Squeezy and an emailed .filecuralicense file.

Known limitations

• No automatic update channel yet — new builds are downloaded from filecura.com. Sparkle-based auto-update is planned for a near-term release.
• The current DMG uses a basic Finder layout. A branded DMG background is deferred to a future update.
• No localisation: the UI is English only.
