A visual file browser for macOS
See your files, not filenames.
Vista shows your files as thumbnails, sorted by kind. Give folders their own color and shape, find photos by what’s in them, and search the words inside screenshots and PDFs.
Home Good Afternoon: folders by kind, with storage at a glance.
Vista shows thumbnails you can recognize at a glance, not long lists of filenames. It sorts your folders by kind, finds photos by what’s in them, and never sends a file off your Mac.
-
01
Thumbnails first
Files and folders as large thumbnails, sorted into photos, screenshots, documents, and videos, no matter which folder they’re in.
-
02
Search inside files
Press / and type what you remember. Vista reads filenames and the words inside screenshots and PDFs, with matching lines shown under each result.
-
03
Visual Search
Describe a photo or video (“horse on the mountain”) and Vista finds it. On-device model, one-time download, then fully offline. Results show as “Visual match.”
-
04
Make it yours
24 colors, 7 rounder folder shapes, and 31 icons. Apply one style (or varied colors) to every folder at once. Themes: Sage Soft (default), White, and Dark.
-
05
Clean up safely
Old downloads, duplicates, and near-identical photos, reviewed before anything moves. Files only go to the Trash, with Undo.
-
06
Private by design
Search, text recognition, duplicate detection, and Visual Search all run on your Mac. No account, no uploads, no tracking.
Visual Search
Find photos by
what’s in them.
Type what you see, like “horse”, “mountain” or “red car”, and Vista finds the photos and videos that match, even when the filename says nothing. It runs on an AI model that lives on your Mac: one download, then every search is offline.
- Finds photos and videos
- One-time model download
- Searches stay offline
Make it yours
Color, shape and
name every folder.
Vista sorts your files into folders by kind. Give each one its own color, style, icon and name. The styles are rounder and more Apple-like now, and one click applies a style to all your folders at once.
- Apply one style to every folder at once
- Rounder, more Apple-like shapes
On-device search
Find the words
inside your files.
Press / and type what you remember, like “screenshots with wifi.” Vista searches filenames and the text inside screenshots and PDFs, and lists the best matches first. The search runs on your Mac.
Viewer
Browse like Photos.
Photos and videos open full size. Zoom, pan, swipe to the next item, and select text inside an image with Live Text.
Keyboard
Move like Gmail.
Single-key shortcuts and the arrow keys move you between categories and files, and open the viewer. ↓ moves down, ↑ moves up. You can use Vista without touching the mouse.
↓ ↑ Move down and up between categories and files.
Clean Up
Clean up.
Undo anything.
Vista finds old downloads, leftover installers, duplicates and near-identical photos. You review each list before anything moves. Files go to the Trash, and Undo brings them back.
Themes
Sage Soft, White,
or Dark.
Sage Soft is the default: Vista’s own calm, soft green. White is clean and bright for the daytime, and Dark keeps everything quiet when the light goes down.

FAQ
Questions
Does Vista reorganize my folders?
No. Vista changes how you see your files, not where they live. Your folders stay exactly as they are.
Which folders does Vista look at?
Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Movies, and Music, plus any folder you add.
Can Vista delete my files?
No. Clean Up only moves files you’ve reviewed to the Trash, and Undo brings them back.
Does anything leave my Mac?
No. Search, text recognition, duplicate detection and Visual Search run on your Mac. There’s no account and no cloud.
How does Visual Search work?
Vista uses an AI model that runs on your Mac. You describe what you are looking for, like “horse”, “mountain” or “red car”, and it matches photos and videos by what’s in them, not by filename. The model is downloaded once when you set it up; after that, every search works with no internet.
Which themes does Vista have?
Sage Soft, White and Dark. Sage Soft is the default, Vista’s own soft green theme, and you can switch at any time.
Can I style all my folders at once?
Yes. Pick a color, one of the seven rounder folder styles and an icon, then apply that style to every folder in one click, or keep individual folders different.
Does Vista work without internet?
Yes. Visual Search needs its model downloaded once; after that everything runs locally, and your license works without a connection.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and get free updates.
Why is it $19 and not $29?
The first 300 licenses are $19 as a thank-you to early users. After that it’s $29. Still one payment, still with free updates.
What do I need?
A Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
