This App is Great

The only thing I would like to see added to Trickster is the ability to access your default browser's browsing history. Just like it lets me access recent files I've closed, I'd love to be able to do the same thing with web pages in Trickster. Fantastic app for finding files!

Unorganized Guy’s Best Friend

I tend to save things in places that I don’t quite remembe where it was. And even when I do know where it is, it take many clicks to get to that folder. Trickster has made my life much easier as I know to go here right away. Being able to omit certain folders makes it better than the “all my files” view in the OS finder. Highly recommend.

Very useful tool!

I'm reminded of how quickly I can forget things. So I think I saved a file in one place but can't find it there. Did I drop it into the wrong folder? What was its name? Questions like these confounded me almost daily. But Trickster gives me easy access to a record of exactly things went. It really saves me time and aggravation!
