Coursework, projects, and assets, never lost again.

Notes, research, project files and creative assets spread across a laptop, an external, and that old drive from last year. GetFerret gathers them into one searchable Warren, so you find it instead of hunting for it.

The GetFerret ferret

You saved it somewhere. The essay, the render, the reference PDF, the reading from three semesters ago. On the laptop, or the backup external, or the drive you used for that one big project. GetFerret keeps track of all of it so "somewhere" becomes "right here."

Built for a scattered workflow

One calm place to find everything you own.

Laptop, externals, an old drive, even cloud folders. GetFerret catalogs them all into one Warren you can search in a keystroke.

⌥

Find it in a keystroke

Press Option-Space anywhere and search across every drive at once, even the externals you have not plugged in. Results as you type, with a preview that actually opens.

🗂️

Organize with Nests and tags

Pull the pieces of one project out of a dozen folders into a Nest, without copying anything. Tag by class or client, Stash what is active, and keep it tidy without moving files around.

📦

Hand it in as a clean folder

When a project is done, export its Nest as a neat folder or zip to submit or share. Folders stop being where things get lost and become what you turn in.

🔒

Private by design, one-time price

Everything stays on your Mac. No cloud account, no subscription, no tracking. A single fair price, not another monthly bill on a student budget.

It grows with you

From one laptop today to a pile of drives later.

GetFerret is a faster, calmer way to find files even on a single Mac. And the day your work outgrows the internal disk and spills onto externals, it is already keeping track, so nothing gets stranded on a drive you forgot about. Your future self, mid-deadline, will thank you.

New · at launch

Know your work is really backed up.

Ferret fingerprints your files and checks your backup drive against your Mac, then tells you in plain words which projects exist in only one place. No more assuming it is safe on two drives when it is only on one.
