SeekFast
SeekFast is a desktop search utility that finds text across large collections of documents, code files and project folders. It supports over 120 file formats including Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, email, ebooks, audio, video and image files. Unlike simple file search tools, SeekFast uses relevance-based ranking to show the most contextually relevant results first, similar to a web search engine. It is used by software developers, office professionals, lawyers, researchers, writers, students and system administrators who need to quickly search through hundreds or thousands of files without background indexing overhead.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSeekFast was first released for macOS in 2021 and the vendor continues to maintain and update it. The search results and vendor website contain no information confirming a native Apple Silicon build at this time, though recent version updates suggest the product is actively maintained. Given that we are currently in May 2026 and Apple will remove Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028), there is still meaningful time for the vendor to release a native build. We recommend checking the SeekFast website (seekfast.org) periodically over the next year to see if a native Apple Silicon version is announced. If you rely on SeekFast for critical workflows, you may also want to contact the vendor directly to ask about their Apple Silicon roadmap. In the interim, the Intel build continues to work under Rosetta 2, but do plan to migrate or update before September 2028.
