File Landscape

File Landscape is a one-screen overview of everything AnySearch has already indexed. It does not rescan your disk — it aggregates the local index so you can see what lives on your Mac at a glance, then jump straight into search.

How to open

Toolbar button in the main window (chart icon)
Window → File Landscape
Keyboard shortcut ⌘⇧L

What you see

Section	What it shows
Overview	File count, folder count, total size, indexed paths
By Type	Documents, images, videos, audio, archives, code, other — with size share
Top Extensions	Most common file extensions by size / count
Top Folders	Directories that hold the most data
Activity	Files modified over the last 12 months, plus files untouched for over a year
Largest Files	Biggest individual files in the index
Possible Duplicates	Same name + same size (quick candidates, not a full hash compare)
By Disk	This Mac vs external volumes, including offline disks still in the index

Click to search

Most rows are actionable. Click an extension, folder, volume, or duplicate group to apply that scope in the main search window and list matching files. Right-click a large file to reveal it in Finder or copy its path.

Performance & privacy

All stats come from the local SQLite index — nothing is uploaded
Queries run in the background the first time you open Landscape; results are cached until the index changes
If you just finished a large re-index, open Landscape again (or wait a moment) so the cache refreshes

Tips

Use Top Folders + click-through when cleaning disk space
Use Possible Duplicates as a starting point, then verify in Finder before deleting
Combine Landscape drill-down with filters (type, path, volume) for finer cleanup
