SearchLight
SearchLight is a file search utility for macOS that helps users quickly locate documents and files across local networks and storage. It provides an intuitive interface for searching large file collections without manual directory navigation, with lightweight design and minimal storage overhead. The app is optimized for managing extensive document libraries and local network file systems.

1 suggestionSearchLight was last updated in 2024 (version 2.0), which is relatively recent, but there is no clear information available indicating whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released. Given that the app is still under active development, contact the developer directly via the project site or email to ask about native Apple Silicon support and confirm a build exists or is planned. With the September 2028 deadline for Rosetta 2 removal in macOS 28 approaching, it is worth verifying the current architecture status before committing to this tool long-term. If the developer cannot confirm a native build path, consider alternatives like macOS's built-in Spotlight search (which runs natively), Alfred (a popular Mac search and automation utility with confirmed native Apple Silicon support), or other actively maintained search tools that explicitly ship native builds.
