How to Get Started with Funter

When you launch Funter for the first time, you’ll see a prompt asking you to grant Full Disk Access. This is an important step – it allows the app to scan your entire Mac, including hidden files and system folders. Without this permission, Funter won’t be able to show all hidden items or perform a complete disk search.

Why Full Disk Access is needed

macOS restricts apps from accessing certain directories by default (like Mail, Messages, Safari data, system files, and others). Granting Full Disk Access ensures Funter can search through all folders and locate every hidden file on your Mac.

How to enable Full Disk Access:

1. Launch Funter.
2. On the window that appears, click Open System Settings.
3. It will open the System Settings window in the Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access section.
4. Toggle the switch on for Funter.
5. If you don’t see Funter in the list of apps, click the plus (+) button, add the app to the list, and then toggle it on.

Once this is done, you can start using Funter to manage hidden files and folders with ease.

How to show or hide hidden files in Finder

1. Click the Funter icon in the toolbar.
2. Use the toggle button to quickly show or hide hidden files in Finder.

How to search for hidden files

1. Enter a file name or keyword into the search bar in the Funter window.
2. Select the location where you want to search (disk or folder).
3. Funter will scan the selected location.
4. The results will appear in a new Smart Search window.

How to manage hidden files

From Funter’s search results, you can easily take action on hidden files using the context menu (right-click or Control-click on any file in the list):

• Show in Finder – locate and view the file in Finder.
• Get Info – view file properties like size, path, and permissions.
• Quick Look – preview the file without opening it.
• Copy to Folder – copy the file to a different location.
• Move to Folder – move the file to another folder.
• Delete – permanently remove the file from your system.
• Copy Name – copy the file name to your clipboard.
• Copy Pathname – copy the full file path (helpful for troubleshooting or scripting).

These tools allow you to safely inspect and organize files, clean up unwanted items, and better understand what’s stored on your Mac.
