The native Mac client space for FTP is genuinely underserved. Most people end up on Cyberduck or Transmit and just stay there out of habit rather than because those tools are great. What I'm curious about is where "fast" is coming from specifically. Is this a smarter connection-handling layer, local caching of directory listings, or something at the rendering level? And does it handle edge cases like servers with slow PASV negotiation or broken directory listing formats, because that's where the legacy clients tend to silently fail and leave you guessing.
Native-and-lightweight is exactly why I would switch off the Electron FTP clients — the wrapper bloat is real. On the security side, where do credentials live: does it use the macOS Keychain and read SSH keys/agent from ~/.ssh, or keep its own store? And can I import existing connection profiles from something like Transmit or FileZilla, or is it all manual entry on day one?
