Turn your Mac into a file server FinderQuery Server turns your Mac into a secure, local file server for FinderQuery Client on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. Once installed, FinderQuery Client can connect to your Mac over your local network and: • Browse Finder folders with icons, including hidden files • Preview files and folders on your desktop • 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: FinderQuery Server does not upload your files or data to the internet. It’s designed to be used only on your local network. • No outgoing connections: the server never initiates connections to your devices; it only responds to requests from clients you approve. • Encrypted control connection: mutual TLS (mTLS) encrypts communication between your Mac and FinderQuery Client. • Manual approval: each new client must be allowed on your Mac, and the client certificate fingerprint must be confirmed before access is granted. About streaming links For compatibility with third-party apps, streamed file delivery isn’t encrypted. Access is protected using randomized file paths and an authentication token—only someone with the URL can view the file.

Major Update We rebuilt the entire app from the ground up — new UI, new core, new everything. Updated protocol, interface, and traffic • Network traffic is now protected with mTLS + certificates for stronger encryption. • No more tedious connection setup. • New file streaming server: view PDFs and videos instantly without downloading. • Important: This update is NOT compatible with older versions. You must update both the server and the client. File previews + icons • Files now support previews. • Browsing files now feels more like macOS Finder, with thumbnails and file-type icons. New UI design (Liquid Glass) ^ • Yep, we adopted Liquid Glass too. • Brand-new app icons. Performance improvements • Big speedups across the app thanks to the full rewrite. • Much faster thumbnail streaming: thumbnails should appear almost instantly, even while scrolling quickly. • Significant improvements to file downloading speed over Wi-Fi. It can now consume the entire bandwidth, reaching over 180MB/s under 802.11ax. Other improvements • Uses hostname (when available) instead of raw IP addresses, for a more human-friendly experience. • You can copy/paste the hostname (or IP) directly. ^ Requires OS 26
