Video guide: How to use Funter
1. Access to control Finder
Launch Funter. In the menu bar, click the app’s icon, and in the drop-down window, switch the toggle button to show hidden files.
You will see a message that Funter requires special permission for Funter to get access to System Events and Finder.
If you cancel this message and don’t give access, you will see the window below. This is necessary to allow Funter access to switch the hidden files’ visibility. Click OK to allow Funter to hide or show hidden files in Finder.
If you clicked “Don’t Allow” by mistake, go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy section → switch to the Privacy tab and enable the option “Finder” for Funter in the Automation section.
2. Access to control System Events
The next message you will see is that Funter wants access to control “System Events.” Click OK. This is important to allow Funter to interact with hidden files and operate them.
If, for some reason, you clicked “Don’t Allow,” give Funter the permission manually. For this, go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy tab → select Automation from the list and enable the checkbox “System Events” for Funter.
3. Accessibility
The last message you will see is a system notification about granting access to this application in Security & Privacy preferences. Click the “Open System Preferences” button.
You will see the Accessibility section in System Preferences. Click the Lock icon and enter your password to be able to make changes. Then enable Funter.
If for some reason you don’t see Funter in the list, then add the app manually. Click the Plus button under the list of apps → go to the Applications folder → select Funter and click Open.
Now you can use Funter to show, hide and find hidden files on your Mac.
