Finder is so frustrating and has been since day one

Finder's folder-based file organization system, unchanged for 50 years, creates frustration for users who struggle to locate files without remembering their location, name, or content. Chad Maltby developed Kepter, an alternative app that eliminates folder hierarchy and displays files visually, making it easier to search and browse files quickly without requiring users to navigate complex directory structures. Kepter has proven effective with over 20 users and frees up mental capacity by reducing the cognitive load of file management.
