Back & Forward navigation in Finder’s right-click menu

FinderBack is a small macOS utility that adds Back and Forward navigation directly to Finder’s right-click menu. I built it because I wanted faster folder navigation without constantly moving back to Finder’s toolbar. The source is available on GitHub, and there’s also a ready-to-run download for $9.99.

How did Astra change the scope or ambition of what you built?

Astra helped me go from “this would be nice to have” to actually shipping it. The idea itself is simple, but building a clean macOS utility around Finder behavior, packaging it properly, handling edge cases, writing the setup flow, and getting it ready for real users would have taken me much longer on my own. It let me iterate fast, test ideas, fix issues, and actually turn a tiny annoyance I had with Finder into something polished enough to release publicly.

I built FinderBack because this is one of those tiny Finder features I kept wishing existed. I wanted to right-click anywhere in Finder and quickly go Back or Forward without moving the cursor up to the toolbar every time. It started as a small personal utility, but it worked well enough that I decided to clean it up, publish the source, and make a ready-to-run version for anyone who wants it. Would love to hear if this is useful to other Mac users or if there are other Finder annoyances worth fixing.
