Kommanda for macOS - The Mac file manager that understands your projects
Finder treats a repo as a folder of opaque files. Kommanda knows your source
from the 40 GB of node_modules, DerivedData and .venv under it, and shows
exactly where your disk went.
Dual- or single-pane, live previews, embedded terminal, folder graphs, and a
cleaner that only touches rebuildable junk.
AI assistant too (Beta): reads files, images and PDFs, runs Python. Your own
key, or a local Ollama model so nothing leaves your Mac. Still early.
Signed & notarized. $29 once, no subscription.

Naseem for macOS
👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I’m Ayman, an independent software developer and content creator.
I built Kommanda because I wanted a faster and more productive alternative to Finder on macOS. As a developer, I spend a lot of time moving files, organizing projects, navigating folders, and working in the terminal. Existing tools either felt too limited or too complex.
Kommanda combines a classic dual-pane workflow with modern features like:
• 🤖 AI assistant for file and project tasks
• 💻 Built-in terminal
• 🗂️ Dual-pane file management
• 📊 Folder graph visualization
• 👀 Quick previews for files and documents
• ⚡ Keyboard-driven workflow for power users
My goal is to create a file manager that helps developers, creators, and power users work faster without constantly switching between multiple applications.
I’d love to hear:
What feature would make you switch from Finder?
What would you like to see in future versions?
Thanks for checking out Kommanda and supporting indie makers! 🚀

One thing I’m currently working on is scheduled jobs (cron-like automation) inside Kommanda. I’d love to know if anyone here automates repetitive file tasks today.

Another feature I’ve been using a lot in Kommanda:
AI-powered file renaming.
I selected a group of screenshots with names like:
Screenshot 2026-06-15 at 12.14.23 PM.png
and asked Kommanda:
“Analyze these images and rename them with descriptive filenames based on their content.”
The AI analyzed each image, suggested meaningful names, and renamed them after confirmation.
Examples:
• kommanda-dual-pane-browser.png
• kommanda-folder-graph-overview.png
• kommanda-folder-graph-depth-2.png
• kommanda-rust-editor.png
• kommanda-reclaim-space.png
No more folders full of files called “Screenshot 2026…”.
One of my goals with Kommanda is to make AI useful for everyday file management, not just chat.
