Introduces Guardian, an on-device scan that finds exposed sensitive files, adds text-in-image (OCR) matching across Smart Categorize and rule content search, overhauls the Rule Builder, and lets scheduled jobs use content search.
What's New
- Introduced Guardian, a new on-device scan that reviews folders you choose and flags files that likely hold sensitive information — identity documents, financial and payment details, credentials and keys, and medical or legal records. Each finding explains why it was flagged and warns when the file sits in a cloud-synced location, and you can hand any finding straight to Encrypt to protect it. The scan is entirely local, never changes or uploads your files, and its report is kept only in memory.
- Smart Categorize and rule Content Search can now read text inside images. Turn on "Include images (OCR)" to sort screenshots and photos by the text they contain, or to match them in a content-search rule. Recognition runs fully on-device with no downloads or network, and it's off by default because it's slower than sorting by name (enable it per job or per rule where you want it).
- Smart Categorize is much smarter about photos and screenshots. It now groups images by kind, names groups from what's actually in them (including scene labels like "Art Illustrations" for pictures with no text), and adds a Videos group — so you no longer end up with a pile of near-identical "Screenshots (2)", "Screenshots (3)" buckets or files stranded in Uncategorized.
- Redesigned the Advanced Organize Rule Builder. Rule and action editors now use a cleaner panel layout with a plain-language summary of each rule as you build it, keyboard shortcuts to save and cancel, live validation of pattern-matching rules, and rename placeholders that insert where your cursor is. Text fields no longer get squished in nested rules.
- Scheduled and watched-folder jobs can now use Content Search rules. Jobs that match on file contents — which previously worked only in Dry Run — can now be scheduled to run automatically.
