## Features

- **Natural-language search**: Type what you mean, like “pdfs from last week” or “big videos”. Homy turns it into visible filters for type, date, size and source, and matches filenames, tags and the text inside files.
- **Search text inside images**: Reads the text in screenshots and photos on-device with Apple’s Vision framework, so you can search for a Wi-Fi password, tracking number or quote you once screenshotted, and copy text out of images and PDFs.
- **Downloaded From**: Groups every download by where it came from: Gmail, Google Drive, ChatGPT, Canva, X, Slack, WhatsApp, GitHub or any website.
- **Duplicate finder**: Finds identical files by content (SHA-256) and look-alike photos such as bursts, edits and HEIC/JPEG pairs, shows how much space you’ll free, and moves extras to the Trash.
- **Clean Up**: Points out old .dmg/.pkg installers, forgotten downloads, old screenshots, big old videos and unused apps so you can free up gigabytes of disk space.
- **Visual library**: Images, videos, music, documents, archives and apps shown as big thumbnails, with a Home dashboard, grid or list views, Quick Look preview, an Inspector, a built-in music player and drag and drop to any app.
