The Closest Thing to
Total Commander on macOS

Total Commander Features You'll Recognize

Captain's Deck implements the orthodox file manager paradigm that Total Commander users know and love.

Dual-Pane Interface

The classic side-by-side panel layout. Source on the left, destination on the right. See two directories at once and copy/move files between them instantly.

F-Key Shortcuts

The shortcuts you know: F5 to copy, F6 to move, F7 to create directory, F8 to delete. Tab to switch panes, Enter to open. Your muscle memory works here.

Quick Filter

Just start typing to filter the current directory. Find files instantly without opening a search dialog. Just like Total Commander's quick search.

Archive Browsing

Browse ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, and GZ archives like regular folders. Press Enter on an archive to step inside. Extract files with standard copy operations.

Built-in Terminal

An integrated terminal panel that syncs with your file browser. Navigate to a folder and the terminal follows. Run cd and the browser updates. True integration.

FTP/SFTP Support

Connect to remote servers and browse them like local folders. Save connections in your favorites. Transfer files between local and remote with the same shortcuts.

Git Integration

See Git status badges (M/A/D/?/!) directly in the file list. Stage, unstage, and revert files from the context menu. View all changes in the Git Status Panel and commit directly.
