Using Kepter
Search like you’d say it
Checked against macOS 26 · August 2026
Type the way you talk: “my flight”, “the power bill”, “grandma’s recipe”. You do not need filenames, because Kepter reads what is inside every file. The boarding pass knows it is a boarding pass.
When results appear, Kepter shows you why something matched, so you can tell at a glance whether it found the right thing.
Three searches in plain words. Kepter answers from what is inside the files, with the file itself below the answer.
Where to search
- The search field at the top of the drawer.
- The search field in the full window.
- Option-Space from inside any app: the full window opens with search ready.
Two honest notes. Search works while Kepter is still reading your library, but a file it has not read yet can only be found by name. And if a search comes up empty, this article walks through the usual reasons.
