Description

Folders is a file manager designed for users who recently transitioned from a PC as well as for those who have always missed a tree-style file manager on their Mac. Its super clean and functional UI built around the folder tree enables some features unique among macOS file managers such as expandable, rearrangeable Favorites (that are not merely shortcuts) and expandable symlinks that can greatly improve the navigation efficiency. Folders has everything you would expect from a modern macOS file manager, including support for multiple windows and tabs, four consistently behaving file views, quick access to your Home and iCloud Drive folders, designated tree nodes for recent files, color tags, text tags, and star-rated files, file previews including audio and video files playback, a dedicated Info panel with EXIF and other metadata, Quick Look, text recognition in images with Live Text and much more. Advanced features include Cut via Bin with cmd-X, a powerful Batch Rename feature, advanced resolution of file conflicts, basic image operations (flip, rotate), a simple built-in text editor, and comprehensive undo that works even on file replacements and folder mergers.

Description

While there are several robust file managers available, many do not adhere to Material Design principles. Even those that claim to follow Material Design often exhibit various minor design imperfections, such as issues with layout, alignment, padding, icons, and fonts, which can create discomfort for users like me, though these flaws might not bother everyone enough to seek out a solution. This dissatisfaction ultimately led me to develop my own file manager. Additionally, numerous popular and trustworthy file managers are closed-source, and while I occasionally use them to access and modify files requiring root permissions, I find myself feeling uneasy about granting any closed-source application such extensive access to my device. After all, this device contains a wealth of personal information, and the level of trust is solely based on the developers' intentions. Therefore, it's crucial to prioritize transparency when it comes to access rights within applications.
