Recent Files
The file you just made, one click from your menu bar
Finder's Recents shows names and dates, which is no use when a folder holds nine files called V3, V3b and V3 FINAL. Recent Files sits in your menu bar and lists what you just touched, newest first, with the waveform drawn into every audio row and every version of a bounce folded into one line. Play a file without opening it. Check its loudness before you send it. Convert to MP3 in place. It watches folders, so it works the same in any app. Free on the Mac App Store, Pro is a one-time £19.
I write music for sync and film, and I was losing the same twenty minutes every day hunting for a bounce I had made a moment earlier.
Finder knows the file exists. It just will not tell you which one it is. Nine files called V3, V3b, V3 FINAL, identical rows of text. So I built the thing I wanted: the waveform drawn onto the row, so the question answers itself.
It grew from there. Loudness and true peak measured as the file lands, because I was opening things just to check them. Versions folded into one line, because that folder is always a mess. Convert to MP3 in place, because the client always asks.
It is free, genuinely: one Place, waveforms, preview, version folding, no timer. Pro is £19 once for unlimited Places and the audio tools. Everyone who bought at the old £9.99 got all of it for nothing, and always will.
Happy to answer anything. If you make things on a Mac and Finder's Recents has ever let you down, I would genuinely like to know whether this fixes it.
