New macOS Tool: Code File Catcher — Collect Source Files to Share with LLMs

Hi everyone!

I’ve just published a small tool I built for macOS called Code File Catcher.

Its goal is to help developers — especially those of us who rely on accessibility — collect all the source files from a project folder so that they can be easily shared with a large language model (like ChatGPT, Gemini, or others). This is very useful when you need the LLM to review code, debug something, or provide feedback — but it needs full context to be truly helpful.

You can download it or explore the code here:

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, and the project is open for collaboration. If you have ideas, suggestions, or just want to try it and give feedback, I’d love to hear from you!

Thanks for reading,
Jonathan

This looks cool.

Will it work with something like ulysses with sheets? I'm getting to a stage with my novel that I'm looking to check for continuity errors, plausibility checks, that sort of thing.

Hi,

This app uses the file system in MacOS. If ulysses doesn't save the files in a folder this app cannot read those files.

Try to use it and tell us your results
