Hi Hunters 👋

I'm the maker of **Unifyl**, a dual-pane file manager for macOS that ties together three worlds:

1. **Total Commander's keyboard muscle memory** — F2 rename, F5/F6 copy/move, Tab panel switch, Ctrl+U swap, Ctrl+B branch view, Shift+F5 duplicate, Insert-select, and 100+ more. Every TC binding you reflexively hit is already bound.
2. **ForkLift-grade native polish** — SwiftUI + AppKit, Apple HIG, Sonoma+ only. Dark/light, 12 built-in themes, macOS tags, Quick Look, system drag-and-drop.
3. **AI that actually respects your privacy** — local CoreML embeddings for semantic search ("find the screenshot I took yesterday about auth"), auto-classification, AI rename for images, smart tagging. Zero cloud AI required.

**v1.0.3 highlights**:

- **Massive data-integrity pass**: fixed a checksum-verify bug that could accept the literal string "error" as a matching hash, a sync-engine bug that could mistake permission-denied folders for empty folders and generate mass-delete plans, and a Vision duplicate-detector bug that could flag unrelated images as duplicates. Full list in CHANGELOG.
- **Korean / CJK filenames fixed on every cloud**: APFS stores Korean filenames decomposed (NFD), S3/Dropbox/OneDrive/WebDAV/SMB/SFTP/FTP/Google Drive store them composed (NFC). Unifyl now normalizes at every remote boundary so `한글.txt` round-trips cleanly instead of showing up as a different filename on each side.
- **Legacy CJK text preview**: EUC-KR / CP949 / Shift-JIS / GB18030 / Big5 files preview correctly instead of mojibake.
- **Volume picker** in the toolbar — plug in a USB drive and it shows up instantly; click to jump.
- **TC-style command bar discoverability** — big teal Terminal button on the F-key bar so new users find the bottom shell without memorising Cmd+Opt+T.
- **Swift 6 strict concurrency** throughout: audit logger, FSEvents watcher, NSFileCoordinator concurrency, DispatchSource races — all hardened.

**Pricing** (launch special):
- **FREE** — dual-pane, basic search, FTP/SFTP, ZIP, 2 cloud providers.
- **PRO $39.99 one-time** — every remote protocol, all clouds, multi-rename, AI search/classify/rename, compare & sync, automation, plugin SDK.
- **Product Hunt launch discount**: code `PRODUCTHUNT` = **25% off Pro** (100 uses, valid until 2026-05-13).

Honest feedback very welcome — especially from long-time Total Commander or Midnight Commander users. AMA on TC-style keybindings, on-device AI, Korean filesystem quirks, or why I'm betting on one-time pricing in a subscription-everything era.

Hi! I'm the solo developer behind Unifyl. I've been a Total Commander user for 20 years and always missed it on macOS. Key decisions: - Swift 6 + SwiftUI/AppKit hybrid — no Electron, no web views - All AI runs on CoreML/Metal — your files never leave your Mac - F3 instant preview with 10 built-in viewers — my favorite feature Free to try, Pro is a one-time $39.99 purchase. Happy to answer any questions!
