Used together with FinderQuery Server (available on the Mac App Store), you can: • Browse Finder folders with icons, including hidden files • Preview files and folders on your Mac • Stream videos and PDFs instantly without downloading • Share a streaming link (URL) to open files in third-party apps • Download and view supported files directly in the app Privacy & Security Your privacy matters: • Local-network only: the app never sends your data to the internet and connects only to your Mac running FinderQuery Server • Mac-controlled access: the server never initiates connections; connections are started only from your device • Encrypted control connection: mutual TLS (mTLS) encrypts communication between the client and your Mac • Verified pairing: you can connect only after approving the connection on your Mac and confirming the client certificate fingerprint • On-device certificates: the certificate is stored in your Keychain and never leaves your device About streaming links To support opening streams in third-party apps, streamed file delivery isn’t encrypted. Access is still protected using randomized file paths and an authentication token—only someone with the URL can view the file.
