File Widgets

I love this app idea: as the name suggests, File Widgets brings the functionality of the Files widget from iOS and iPadOS to macOS, where Finder doesn’t offer a similar widget to quickly see recent files from a folder. To use the app, you pick which folders you want to monitor in widgets, then you add some widgets to your Mac desktop and edit them to point at previously-selected folders. That’s it. You can then click on files inside widgets to open them in their default app, click on sub-folders to view them in Finder, or click the widget’s name to open the original folder in the Finder app. I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple Sherlocks File Widgets later this year.
