Find large files with natural-language search

Short answer
Diskfern Finder indexes millions of files locally on your Mac. Type natural queries, and keywords like 'videos', 'large', 'this week', '>1gb' or 'pdf' become filter tags such as .pdf and This month. Results depend on query selectivity, hardware, and the indexed files.
