Leap mentions (3)

  • Fsearch, a fast file search utility for Unix-like systems
    +1 on the need for non-Spotlight options. Source code makes a mess of spotlight for everyday usage. I like Leap a lot for multimedia browsing with more precise search capabilities than spotlight: https://ironicsoftware.com/leap/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Digital TTRPG Books Folder Hierarchy
    Just use tags for everything and don’t worry that much about the file hierarchy. This will let you take advantage of automatic downloading systems like the apps that DriveThruRPG and itch provide. Point Leap at your collection and use it to find stuff. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Help with Organize PDFs
    You might also look into Leap for tracking/tagging stuff. Source: over 1 year ago
