Rediscover your files in whole new ways! Our customized data mining algorithms for Mac bring you to the power of Big Data one click away.
File Ninja is the best way to get information from your files. Drop any file or folder and immediately start inspecting the data as it is extracted. You will get a crisp overview of the links, places, dates, contacts and email addresses detected in their contents and metadata. Let File Ninja fight with heterogeneous data sources and it will throw its suryken to the gist for you.
A link or an email address by themselves may not seem much, but getting a readable summary of thousands of files without the clutter brings such a powerful knowledge that we think its worth an app that everybody can use.
There are many times when you will want to use File Ninja. Use it as a last resort to control your privacy. It enables you to make informed decisions before you share data, while your files keep intact. Use it to get an understanding of the people involved in a project looking at the contacts and email addresses. Use it to trace the places in your files and pin them in the map to get a picture of where your data points to. Use it to inform yourself of the links you have or might be sharing. Use it to find time references in a period of time and spot what files are involved in them. These are just some suggestions; our users are finding new uses every day.

- Only the Places tab shares anonymously the places addresses with Apple and Google in order to provide geolocalization and map services, but the addresses are decontextualized and never related to the rest of the data.
- We build cool apps to empower our users, not anyone else. Selling apps is our business, your information is yours.
