Findle uses your learning platform account to connect to your courses. It does not ask for extra steps that are hard to follow. After sign-in, you can move between your files and your course folders from Finder.
If your school uses single sign-on, you may see your normal login page. Use the same account you already use for Moodle or OpenLMS.
With Findle, you can:
- Open course folders from Finder
- View files from Moodle and OpenLMS in a familiar layout
- Move between courses without a web browser
- Keep course files in one place
- Access files with a clean Mac-style interface
- Work with fewer clicks and less switching
Findle connects your course account to Finder in a simple flow:
- You sign in.
- Findle reads your course list.
- It shows the files in Finder.
- You open, copy, or move files like normal macOS files.
This makes it easier to manage class work, notes, and downloads in one place.
If you downloaded a .dmg file:
- Open the file.
- Drag Findle into the Applications folder.
- Open Applications.
- Double-click Findle.
- Sign in when prompted.
If you downloaded a .zip file:
- Double-click the file to unzip it.
- Open the extracted app.
- Move it to Applications if you want to keep it there.
- Open the app and sign in.
If macOS blocks the app on first launch, open it again from Applications after allowing it in your security settings.
When you open Findle for the first time, you may need to:
- Choose your Moodle or OpenLMS site
- Sign in with your school or work account
- Allow file access
- Wait for your course data to sync

Once setup is done, your courses should appear in Finder with the same file names and folders you expect.
Findle is useful if you:

Findle works with common course file types such as:

- Stay signed in if you use Findle often
- Check your course source if a folder does not appear
- Refresh the view if new files do not show right away
If the Releases page shows more than one file, look for the one made for macOS. It is usually the .dmg or .zip file in the latest release. After download, open that file and follow the setup steps above.
Findle fits well with:
- Finder
- macOS
- Moodle
- OpenLMS
- Swift
- SwiftUI
