Guide

Everything, explained.

How Tern Files works, chapter by chapter. In the app, the ? in the title bar or F1 opens the chapter for what you are looking at.

Install Tern Files, go through the setup and find your way around the window.

Move through your folders with tabs, two panes, folder sizes and workspaces.

Copy, move, rename and delete safely – with a transfer queue, a full history and undo.

Find any file in milliseconds – by name, with filters, by content or with a question in plain language.

Look into files with the space bar – pictures, PDFs, code, Markdown, Office, video and more.

See what fills your drives, remove duplicates, rename many files at once and let rules and the local AI sort for you.

Open apps, files, folders and commands with Alt+Space, and jump to your folders in any Open or Save dialog.

Every settings page explained: what each option does and when you might want to change it.

Every shortcut of the app at a glance – and how to change them.

How the 14-day trial works, what stays free afterwards and how to unlock Pro.

What to do when Tern Files doesn't start, search misses files or something feels slow – and how to reach support.
