Funter
Funter is a macOS utility for showing hidden files, searching hidden items, and hiding or unhiding files directly in Finder.
What is Funter?
Funter is a Mac utility for working with hidden files and folders in Finder. It helps users quickly show normally hidden items, search for hidden content that Spotlight may miss, and change file visibility without using Terminal commands. The app also adds Finder integration so you can hide or unhide selected files and folders from the contextual menu. Funter is useful for troubleshooting, cleaning up leftover hidden items, checking package contents, and managing files that macOS does not usually display. It is designed for everyday Mac users as well as more advanced users who need easier access to hidden filesystem content. Funter is published by Nektony Limited and is part of the company’s lineup of Mac utilities.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Funter is a legitimate file-visibility utility for macOS, and its Finder integration is consistent with its purpose. Because it can reveal, move, and remove hidden files, changes should be made carefully: hidden items often include system components, app support files, and configuration data that other software relies on. If you use it to delete or modify hidden files, double-check the item’s location and purpose first.
Recommendation: Keep Funter if you intentionally use it to view or manage hidden files on your Mac. If you do not need hidden-file controls or Finder integration, you can remove it without affecting normal macOS use, though you will lose its quick show, search, and hide/unhide tools.
