Projektgeschichte

Nektony developed Funter as a macOS utility dedicated to hidden files and folders. An official July 2016 announcement introduced Funter 2.0 with system-folder and package-content search, visibility switching, preview, Finder handoff, and file operations.

Subsequent development retained the original hidden-file focus while improving search, Finder integration, operating-system compatibility, permissions handling, localization, and the application interface.

Adoptionsgeschichte

Funter has been maintained as a free Mac utility through successive macOS releases, with Finder integration and menu-bar access keeping its specialized hidden-file workflow close to the native desktop.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users toggle hidden-file visibility from the menu bar, search selected disks or folders, inspect package contents, preview results, and copy, move, delete, hide, or unhide files.

Finder integration adds hide and unhide commands to Finder. Full Disk Access is needed when users want Funter to search the entire drive. The official uninstall guide identifies the preferences location; Funter has no documented account credentials.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Funter packages a collection of familiar Mac troubleshooting operations—showing dotfiles, finding application leftovers and caches, inspecting package contents, and changing visibility flags—into a graphical tool accessible to users who do not want to use Terminal.

For package-manager users, the cask provides a reproducible way to install a focused system utility whose main value often appears during debugging, cleanup, or inspection of otherwise invisible files.
