Support & thanks

Help shape FilenQ — get credited.

FilenQ is built in the open during early access. Two ways to be part of it — both entirely optional.

Find a critical bug?

Report critical problems or security bugs and you'll be credited on the FilenQ thank-you page — with a link to your work or socials, however you'd like to be known. Real fixes from real users make the app better for everyone.

Spread the word

FilenQ grows by word of mouth. If it makes your file work faster, the best support during early access is simple — tell another Mac power user, or share it with your team.
