Features

One workspace for browsing, converting, inspecting, automating and securing files.

A complete look at what lives inside FilenQ. Everything runs natively on your Mac — no Electron, no web wrapper, no cloud upload.

About security command presets

FilenQ includes optional security command presets for authorized testing on systems you own or have permission to assess. Presets include safety prompts and disclaimers for potentially destructive commands. They are an optional tool, not the focus of the app, and are intended for authorized testing only.
