Homedex is a calm, visual home for the photos, videos, documents and downloads scattered across your computer. Big previews, plain-English search, and cleanup that never deletes by surprise.
Six shelves, sorted for you automatically. Open Homedex and see everything you have without opening a single folder.
Ask for it like you'd ask a friend.
Type what you remember: the kind of file, roughly when, how big, where it came from. Homedex shows you exactly how it read your words, so you can tweak a chip instead of starting over.
Files …
Built for the ways files actually go missing.
Four things your file manager can't do, each one a shortcut away.
1Text in images
It reads your screenshots.
Homedex recognises the text inside images and PDFs right on your computer, so the Wi-Fi password, the tracking number or the quote you screenshotted is one search away.
Uses Apple Vision on Mac and Windows OCR on PC
Copy the text from one image or a hundred at once

2Downloaded From
It remembers where downloads came from.
Your computer quietly records the website behind every download. Homedex turns that into neat groups, so you can find the invoice by remembering the email it came in.
A “From” filter on every list with downloads
Works with Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Brave

3Duplicates
It finds the copies, and the near-copies.
Exact duplicates are matched by content fingerprint, not by name. Look-alike photos (bursts, edits, HEIC + JPEG pairs) are grouped too, with the best one picked to keep.

Privacy
Your files never leave home.
Homedex has no account and no cloud. Everything it learns about your files lives in a small index on your own disk, and you can delete it in one click from Settings.
No, it sits next to them. Homedex is for seeing and finding your stuff. Finder and Explorer still handle everything else, and “Show in Finder / Explorer” is one right-click away.
Never. Indexing, text recognition and duplicate detection all run on your computer. The only network calls are the license check and the update check, and neither includes anything about your files.
Homedex never deletes anything permanently. Clean Up and Duplicates move files to the Trash (Mac) or Recycle Bin (Windows), so you can always put them back.
macOS 13 Ventura or later on Apple silicon and Intel, and Windows 10 (1903) or Windows 11 on x64 and ARM64.
No. You pay once and keep it, and updates are free for the life of version 1.
A license activates one computer at a time, Mac or Windows. Switching machines? Click “Deactivate this computer” and activate on the new one.
Share a public video of Homedex on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts or X with #homedexapp. Once it passes 2,000 views, email us the link and we refund your full purchase. You keep the license.
Files that are already downloaded show up like any other file. Cloud-only placeholders are skipped during scans, so Homedex never triggers a download.
Yes. After activation Homedex works fully offline. It checks your license again when you're back online.
Give your files a nicer place to live.
One-time payment, on Mac or Windows. No account, no subscription.
