SIMPLE AND CLEAR
The free tier is not a crippled demo: full search quality in one everyday folder you choose — Desktop, Documents, or Downloads. When you need more locations, unlock Pro yearly or with a one-time purchase. No monthly plan.
One purchase permanently unlocks the current Locseek Pro. No subscription, no renewals.
14-day free trial for eligible users. Renews yearly after the trial; cancel anytime.
Never slowed down or made less accurate — the free tier keeps full search quality.
Prices are shown in USD as a single reference. Your actual charge is the localized Mac App Store price for your region, including tax. Nothing is charged before launch.
SIDE BY SIDE
Annual and Lifetime unlock exactly the same Pro features — they differ only in how you pay and how long it lasts. Free keeps full quality within its scope.

Full-quality instant name search in one standard folder you choose — Desktop, Documents, or Downloads — with live updates and up to 1,000 results. You can switch the folder anytime, and the free tier is never artificially slowed down.
Every location that matters on your Mac: your home folder, any custom folders, multiple locations at once, and external drives — plus regex and size:/date: syntax, saved searches, and result limits up to 30,000.
Eligible users get a 14-day free trial before the yearly charge. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing; the free tier keeps working either way.
One purchase permanently unlocks Locseek Pro — it never expires. On a new Mac, sign in with the same Apple Account and restore your purchase in Locseek.
File search is not a monthly content service. Locseek only offers annual and lifetime pricing — less subscription fatigue, and a clearer deal.
