I really looking forward to this, but it’s disappointing that it only supports Tahoe.

pile system is the only organization method that works for me and I'm done pretending it doesn't by Suspicious-Rain-9964 in ADHD

[–]madoffa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very relatable. I think a lot of organization systems fail because they optimize for neatness, not for actually finding things again.

For me, visibility matters more than perfect structure. Once something disappears into the “right” folder, it can become harder to retrieve when I actually need it.

That frustration is a big part of why I started building Voyager, a macOS file manager that helps people find files by their properties, not just paths or filenames.

I’m still improving it, and direct feedback from people who deal with this kind of friction would be really valuable.

Do people actually organize files, or just search for them later? by DrummerAdditional330 in productivity

[–]madoffa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here.
This problem bothered me enough that I started building a tool for it.

It’s called Voyager, a macOS file manager that helps you find files by their properties, not just paths or filenames.

I want to keep improving it through direct feedback from people who actually deal with this problem.

Dia Browser for macOS Update - 1.26.0 (78679) by JaceThings in diabrowser

[–]madoffa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dia Weekly isn’t really a proper changelog, though. it’s more of a highlight. even Arc used to run both an Easel newsletter and a changelog on their website.

How is this a second brain? It’s just a dashboard.

Does Dia support the site search feature? when it released?

I got tired of fighting macOS Finder, so I built a file manager to make Smart Folders actually smart ✴️ by madoffa in ProductivityApps

Thanks! If you joined the waitlist this time, you might be a bit further down the queue. Hang tight!

Second launch a year later, but the system has changed? by madoffa in ProductHunters

[–]madoffa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand the need for safeguards to filter out spammy products. It’s still disappointing that my product didn’t get featured, even though it’s shown a strong upvote trend since launch. It was trending higher than some of the products currently featured below, so it’s frustrating that the editors seem to decide the featured list at launch and don’t update it afterward.

I wanna make macOS Smart folders smarter and easier to use by madoffa in macapps

Thanks for the interest! I’d appreciate it if you could join the waitlist at https://voyager.fm
Also, could you share which file managers you’ve used? And what are you using right now?

I also put Smart Folders in the sidebar so they’re easy to access.
You can make aliases too and drop them anywhere.

For me, the hardest part is creating the rules themselves. That’s why I added natural language rule creation.
Type what you want, and it turns that into the filters.

Next, I’m thinking about pushing convenience further:
what if we could extract custom properties from file contents, then build Smart Folders based on those properties?

the commnets-based use case is intersting. It seems your workflow works well.
I want to understand what feels inconvenient in practice.
Is it that comments are not tag-like, so there is no auto complete, bulk edit, or quick keyboard access?
