About Scherlokk
Scherlokk is a fast file search and comparison utility for macOS that searches every file on any accessible volume—internal drives, USB drives, memory cards, network shares (AFP, SMB, FTP)—bypassing Spotlight's index limitations to find hidden, system, or unindexed files. Beyond search, it performs text and binary file comparison using a diff algorithm that highlights insertions, deletions, and matching blocks, and includes a built-in hex editor for directly editing any file type. Results can be displayed in flat or hierarchical views, and the app is available on the Mac App Store from Naarak Studio.
