Trickster: Recent Files

Trickster keeps your recent files and links one click away in the menu bar. The document you saved a minute ago, the PDF you downloaded, the page you meant to come back to: they're at the top of the list, so you don't have to dig through folders. "Can't work without this app. Trickster has become my most used and favorite app!" (App Store review) Already own Trickster? Version 4 is a free update, redesigned for macOS Tahoe and now tracking web links alongside your files. RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT IT • Downloaded an invoice? Drag it from Trickster into an email without opening Finder. • Closed a document by mistake? Reopen it from the list. • Exported design assets? Drag them into Slack, Figma or a client upload form. • Files synced from your other Mac through iCloud Drive or Dropbox show up too. YOU CHOOSE WHAT TO TRACK Trickster watches the folders you pick and lets you filter what you see. • See new, downloaded and changed files, not only the ones you opened. • Choose your watched folders on first launch and change them any time. • Use the built-in filters, or create your own by location, file type, Finder tags or name. • Switch between files, links or everything with one click. WEB LINKS NEXT TO YOUR FILES • Save a page from Safari, Chrome or Firefox, and it appears in your list with the site's icon. • Each link remembers the browser it came from and opens there again. • Search, filter, flag and drag links like any other item. • The Safari extension is built in. Chrome and Firefox extensions are available. WORK WITH YOUR ITEMS • Drag items out of Trickster into any app, the same way you would from Finder. • Open, rename, preview with Quick Look, or reveal in Finder. • Keep the files, folders, apps and links you use most in the Favorites sidebar. • Drop files on a favorite folder to move them there, or on a favorite app to open them with it. • Flag the items you want to keep. KEYBOARD FRIENDLY Open Trickster from anywhere with a global shortcut, then search, open and preview items without touching the mouse. WORKS WITH YOUR TOOLS • DEVONthink: open DEVONthink items from Trickster, with their database location shown in the list. • Hookmark: see which items have hooks. • Alfred: browse your recent items with the Trickster workflow. • AppleScript support for your own automations. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR MAC Your files and links never leave your Mac, and there's no account to create. The browser extensions send links straight to Trickster on your Mac, not through a server. PRICING Trickster is free to download, and everything is unlocked for the first 14 days. After that, the free version keeps working with your 10 most recent items.
