Core features

Precise file search without complexity.

The iOS app follows a predictable workflow: add a folder, build or refresh the index, search by filename or extension, and use clear paths to identify the right result. Includes 3 free searches; continued search access requires a subscription.

Flexible queries

Search with one keyword, multiple terms, or logical matching when you need to narrow or broaden results.

Extension search

Find files by format, including pdf, jpg, docx, and xlsx.

Transparent results

See exact filenames and folder paths before deciding which file to open.

Files app folder access

Works with iCloud Drive and Files app locations that allow third-party folder access after you authorize them.

Local indexing

Filename metadata and search settings stay on device. The app does not upload your index or search history.

Subscription access

Includes 3 free searches. Continued search access and automatic index updates require an active subscription.

iOS screenshots

Search examples from the iPhone app.

Use extension search, combined filename terms, or a filename term plus an extension filter to find the right document on mobile.

Mobile performance

Exceptional search speed on iPhone and iPad.

In a 100,000-file local stress test, the iOS app stayed in the millisecond range while searching combined filename terms with default AND matching and an extension filter.

6.731 ms

Average iOS search time across three 100,000-file test runs

Mobile-first privacy

Folder access stays under user control.

iOS does not allow apps to silently scan the entire Files app. Quick Search File follows that model: you choose folders, and the app indexes only those authorized locations.

What the app reads

Filename metadata, extensions, relative paths, and basic file attributes needed for search and result display.

What the app does not do

No server upload, no sale of data, no collection of file contents, and no background access to folders you did not authorize.
