Cataloging drives and folders
The physical drive can stay in storage while the searchable inventory moves with you.
On the first Mac, complete a scan and choose Export. Copy the .everywherecatalog archive to the second Mac, choose Import, and give the entry a meaningful name. The new Mac can browse and search the catalog while offline. It is a portable index, not a portable copy of the data, so opening a result still depends on the source drive.
Open Catalog… from Everywhere’s menu bar item and add the drive or folder that matters. Let the first catalogue finish, then search by filename and browse the recorded folder tree. When the source is disconnected, the catalogue remains available and results are labelled offline so you know why opening the file requires reconnecting the drive.
Keep the original drive unchanged, use a clear catalogue name, and rescan after a large round of changes. Catalogues are for the places you choose; they do not silently turn a whole-Mac search into a second scan.
No. Catalog matching uses the volume identity and relative source path, not only the visible mount name.
No. Search remains available, but updating requires the cataloged source to be connected.
Everywhere keeps track of every file on your Mac — including the folders Spotlight hides and drives you have unplugged. Free for a day, then $19 once.
