Dual-Pane Interface

See two folders at once. Copy files in one keystroke.

The classic orthodox file manager design that power users love. Side-by-side directory panels, F5 to copy, F6 to move, Tab to switch panes. No more dragging between Finder windows.

Bidirectional Terminal Sync

Your terminal follows your files. Your files follow your terminal.

Navigate in the file browser and the terminal cd's automatically. Run cd in the terminal and the file browser follows. Works with zsh, bash, and fish. Toggle with backtick (`). No competitor does this.

Cloud & Server Connections

Your servers, your cloud, your files. All in one place.

SFTP/SSH, FTP, SMB, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV for network protocols. Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Rackspace Cloud Files for cloud storage.

1M+ Files

Lazy-loading table view handles massive directories without breaking a sweat.

100% Native

Swift + AppKit with C++ core. No Electron bloat. Instant launch, minimal memory.

Async Everything

All file operations run in background. UI never blocks. Cancel anytime.

Unlimited Tabs

Cmd+T for new tab, each with its own history. Click to switch, drag to reorder.

Quick Preview

Press Space to preview any file using macOS Quick Look. No app switching.

Full Undo/Redo

Cmd+Z works for copy, move, delete, rename. Complete operation history.

Orthodox File Manager

Inspired by Norton Commander and Midnight Commander. Two panes show different directories simultaneously. Copy and move files between them with a single keypress. Switch panes with Tab, operate on files with function keys.

Bidirectional Terminal Sync

The integrated terminal stays in sync with your file browser. Navigate in the GUI and the terminal follows. Run 'cd' in the terminal and the pane updates. OSC 7 escape sequences enable seamless integration with zsh and bash.

S3-Compatible Storage

Connect to Amazon S3, MinIO, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze B2, and any S3-compatible storage. Browse buckets like local folders. Upload and download with progress tracking. Pre-configured for popular providers.

Hybrid Search

Combines Spotlight's speed with deep content search. First, instant results from the Spotlight index. Then, supplement with grep-style content search. Find files by name or search inside them with regex support.

Visual Diff Viewer

Compare two files side-by-side with syntax highlighting. See additions, deletions, and modifications at a glance. Navigate between changes with keyboard shortcuts. Perfect for code review and file comparison.

Admin Mode

Access system files with elevated privileges. Uses SMJobBless for secure privilege escalation. One-time authorization, then seamless access to protected directories. No sudo prompts cluttering your workflow.

Plugin System

Extend Captain's Deck with JavaScript plugins. Add custom context menu items, create new file providers, or automate workflows. Sandboxed execution with granular permissions. Build exactly what you need.

Norton Commander Theme

Nostalgic DOS blue interface with configurable retro effects. Optional scanlines, CRT curvature, and phosphor glow. Perfect DOS VGA fonts for authenticity. Take a trip back to the golden age of file management.

Git Integration

Comprehensive Git support built right in. See file status badges (M for modified, A for added, D for deleted, ? for untracked, ! for ignored) with color-coded highlighting. Branch name displayed in the header. Stage, unstage, revert files from the context menu. Open the Git Status Panel to see all changed files, stage all or unstage all with one click, and commit with a message. Double-click any file to see a visual diff against HEAD.
