I wanted to have a basic file manager to help me clean out my Downloads folder, removing the things I didn’t need and easily moving other files to more permanent suitable locations. It started out as a very basic file manager with good filtering options that genuinely helped me to quickly clean out my Downloads folder that had been left unkept for several years. Then as I thought of more features I wanted I added them. Some of them are: - Fuzzy go to folder/file where you only need to write a few letters of a full path, get suggestions and can jump to the correct path instantly - Hover over a file to preview an image or PDF without opening it - Dual-pane view and tabs that remember selected filters - Command palette to find actions fast - Batch rename (with regex support and presets for common operations), image conversion (HEIC/WebP/AVIF to JPG/PNG), zip creation - Bookmarks, Quick Look, single-click open, full keyboard control And many other small quality of life features. It's a native Mac app (no Electron), launches instantly, and the whole app is only around 9 MB. It has a 30-day free trial with a one-time purchase price of $19.99 (no subscription).
