Built Ferret, a Spotlight for code on macOS: files, grep, definitions, quick edit and git changes from one hotkey

https://reddit.com/link/1x6szc6/video/zv09h0b58ovh1/player I keep a lot of repos on my Mac and kept losing time to "which project was that in?" Spotlight skips code folders and dotfiles, and grep means opening a terminal first. So I built Ferret. - Files: any file on the disk, typos fine. "wroker" finds worker.go. - Grep: text inside every code file in your home folder. - Symbols: where a function or type is defined, in any language. - Git: every repo with uncommitted c

AI 分析

痛点:开发者在 Mac 上维护大量代码仓库时,Spotlight 不索引代码目录和 dotfiles,grep 又必须先开终端,导致查找文件、符号和 git 变更效率低下。

目标用户:macOS 上的软件开发者、工程师,尤其是同时管理多个代码仓库的人

证据:I keep a lot of repos on my Mac and kept losing time to "which project was that in?" Spotlight skips code folders and dotfiles, and grep means opening a terminal first. … A search across my 6.3 million files comes back in under a millisecond. … Free and MIT.

变现:当前免费开源无法直接变现,可做 Pro 版订阅:跨设备/团队索引同步、符号全局图谱、Windows/Linux 版本、企业内网索引,或采用付费授权+开源核心模式

MVP:用 SwiftUI 做菜单栏应用,直接调用现成的 ripgrep/fd 做文件与全文搜索,全局热键唤起不抢焦点的面板,结果支持回车跳转到 VS Code/Cursor 指定行,先覆盖文件+grep+符号三类查询

竞品:Raycast、Alfred、Spotlight、Sourcegraph、ripgrep/fzf 组合、Warp/终端内搜索工具

摘要:开发者发布 Ferret,一个 macOS 上的『代码版 Spotlight』,支持文件、grep、符号定义、git 变更和最近打开记录,基于自研 fsearch 索引守护进程,630 万文件亚毫秒返回。痛点真实且普遍,但产品免费且 MIT 开源,没有任何付费或收入信号,变现空间主要在 Pro 功能与跨平台。整体属于已验证需求但缺乏付费证据的机会。
