✴️ Voyager is a macOS file manager beyond Finder. It’s built for language-driven file management. Describe what you need in plain language, and Voyager cuts the busywork of staying organized as your files pile up.







Does the Intellgence Processing send my filenames or file contents to external servers? or is everything processed by on-device ai?
@wei_yan4
No, Voyager never sends your file contents to external server.
Right now, only the query you type is sent to our server (via the OpenAI API).
From that query, we only extract a structured filter (conditions like “PDFs from last week in this folder”), and that filter is sent back to the app. All actual filtering and file operations happen locally on your Mac. No files are uploaded.
We’re studying an on-device path for macOS Tahoe users so that even the query understanding step can run entirely on-device, depending on how the performance looks.
@jongminpark very nice explaination. Sounds much more secure.

Wow, thank you so much for this comment. You described exactly the kind of person I had in mind when building Voyager.
I’m trying to keep things clean and simple while letting you use natural language and more specific rules for your own taste, just like you mentioned.
Really appreciate you taking the time to write this. Hope Voyager actually does solve that problem for you.

Congrats! Cool idea. And after most recent macOS update been having issues with search functionality. Look forward to trying
@daniele_packard Thank you so much, Daniele. Really appreciate it.
If Voyager can help with those macOS search issues even a little, that would make us very happy.
Would love for you to give it a try and let us know how it feels.
Good idea. Finder is tricky.
@markashworth
Yeah, totally agree. Finder has more and more solid alternatives now, and it should be as easy to switch as changing your web browser.
Rule-based views that update without moving files is the gap none of the dual-pane Finder alternatives have touched. ForkLift, Path Finder, Marta... they all compete on layout and navigation. Voyager's Collections approach is a different axis entirely. Smart move keeping the NL parsing server-side while all file ops stay local. Once the on-device path ships, the whole pipeline becomes zero-network for privacy-sensitive setups. That removes the last objection for teams with strict data policies.
