A few things to know.
Does FileHome move my files?
Adding a folder organizes its view, while your files stay where they are. Cleanup and screenshot organization can move files when you explicitly use those actions or enable their rules.
Does it replace Finder?
FileHome is a companion to Finder, with a calmer view, local search, and cleanup tools. You can open files or reveal them in Finder whenever you need.
What is ready in this preview?
Folder browsing, local text search, OCR, exact and similar-image scans, previews, and the test license window are implemented. Live licensing, Apple signing and notarization, and the update feed are still being prepared.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
Three-Mac and five-Mac bundles are planned. Their prices are not final, so only the one-Mac test offer is available here.
