Dual pane

Two panes. A thousand times faster.

Source on the left, destination on the right: moving files stops being a window-juggling act. The active pane is color-marked, and each pane has its own tabs, history and favorites sidebar.

  • F5 copies and F6 moves to the other pane; Tab switches sides
  • Tabs draggable between panes, each with its own history
  • Classic color labels: the whole row, as it should be
  • List, icon and column views, independent per pane

Copy queue
Copy queue

Copies with real progress

What Finder has never had: every transfer shows bytes, speed, and the file in flight. Tasks queue up and run in order, without fighting over the disk.

  • Pause, resume or cancel any transfer
  • Smart conflicts: keep both, replace or skip, with "apply to all"
  • Safe replace: cancelling mid-copy never destroys the original
  • Same-volume moves are instant, as they should be
The Visor

Your files, in any app, in half a second

Press ⌥ Space from anywhere — Mail, Photoshop, a game — and a full dual pane slides up from the bottom edge of your screen. Drag what you need and press Escape: it vanishes and focus returns to where you were. The essence of TotalFinder, without touching the system.

Visor
Remote connections

SFTP as another pane, with drag & drop

Connect to any SSH server with ⌥⌘K and the server shows up in one of the two panes, with the other one local. Drag files and folders between local and remote both ways, or use the buttons. A server on the left and your Mac on the right, the way it should be.

  • Drag files and folders (recursive) between the local and remote pane
  • Password or SSH key (ed25519/RSA, including Amazon EC2 .pem)
  • SSH/SFTP passwords encrypted in the macOS Keychain: they never leave your Mac and no one else can read them — not even us
  • Interactive tabbed SSH terminal (⌃⌘K), plus SMB, WebDAV and NFS mounted as folders with ⌘K

Everything inside

Features, in detail

Each one with an example. No vaporware lists: all of this ships in the version you download today.

Fuzzy filter

Type a few letters in order and find the file even if you don't remember the exact name. Ignores case and accents.

pjct → project-final.sketch

Type to jump

In any folder, just start typing and the selection jumps to the first match. No search box needed.

inv → Invoices 2026.numbers

Batch rename

Find & replace, prefixes, suffixes, numbering and regular expressions with templates — live preview and two-phase collision-proof renaming.

IMG_(\d+) → Wedding-$1.jpg

Compare & sync

Compare both panes recursively: what's missing, extra, or different. Copy what's missing in either direction with one click.

⇧⌘K · 47 differences → Copy →

Analyze space

What's filling your disk? A navigable tree with each folder's real size and a share bar. Drill down to the culprit.

Free up space

Safe categories of disposable files —caches, logs, Xcode leftovers, old downloads— to the Trash in one click. Nothing is deleted without your confirmation.

Network scanner

Discover devices on your network: name, IP, MAC, vendor, services and ping. Scans continuously and connects to your NAS or server in one click.

Command bar

Buttons running your own shell scripts on the selection. Direct lineage from Directory Opus on the Amiga.

sips -Z 1200 $SF_FILES

File type actions

Redefine double-click per extension: make a .zip list its contents instead of extracting, or open .log files in your favorite viewer.

.zip → unzip -l "$SF_FILE" | open -f

Built-in text/hex viewer

Press F3 and look inside any file instantly: text or hex dump with ASCII column. Without launching any app.

F3 → 00000040 4d 5a 90 00 · MZ··

Flat view

Flatten a folder's whole tree into a single list with relative paths. Combine with fuzzy filter to find anything in huge projects.

⌥⌘F → src/app/utils/date.ts

Classic labels

The classic 7 colors painting the entire row, 100% compatible with Finder tags, both ways.

Annual report.pdf

Real folder sizes

Folders show their real size, computed in the background without blocking anything, with smart caching.

node_modules → 1.2 GB 😱

Complete context menu

Open With (all your apps, with icons), duplicate, compress, make alias, copy path, get info and Terminal here.

⌘D duplicate · ⌥⌘C copy path

Pattern selection

Select by wildcard or invert the selection: the professional way to work with hundreds of files.

⌥⌘A → *.jpg (234 selected)

Network servers

Built-in SFTP client (⌥⌘K) and interactive tabbed SSH terminal (⌃⌘K): password or SSH key, Keychain-backed connection manager. Plus mount SMB, WebDAV or NFS with ⌘K.

sftp://your-server · smb://nas.local

Finder favorites

Import your Finder sidebar in one click. Two sidebars, one per pane, each driving its own side.

11 favorites imported ✓

Dual preview

Quick Look with space, side preview panel with ⇧⌘P, and arrow-key browsing without closing the preview.

Space · ⇧⌘P

Two-level delete

Trash with ⌘⌫ or permanent delete with ⌥⌘⌫ and confirmation — ideal for external volumes.

⌥⌘⌫ → Delete permanently?

All the essentials

Hidden files with ⇧⌘., per-tab ◀ ▶ history, real cut & paste interoperable with Finder, F2 rename, folders-first sorting.

⌘X → ⌘V (for real)

The fuzzy filter, in action

pyto⟶proyecto-final-v2.sketch

The command bar: 35+ functions, plus yours

A button grid in the style of the legendary Directory Opus, organized by category: image, PDF and audio converters, OCR, background removal, transcription, batch organizing and AI (Claude or OpenAI with your key). Each button runs a shell command — build your own, group them into custom categories, pick colors, or hide it with ⌥⌘B.

FAQ

How is it different from TotalFinder?

TotalFinder injects code into Finder, which requires disabling SIP (macOS system protection) and breaks with every system update. SuperFinder is a standalone app using only public Apple APIs: drag-to-install, notarized, and it survives every macOS update.

On how many Macs can I use one license?

Each license activates one Mac. If you switch computers or reinstall, you can release it from the app itself (SuperFinder menu → Enter License… → Deactivate this Mac) and activate it on another, no need to ask us. Need several Macs at once? One license each.

Will it run on my Mac?

It needs macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, on Apple Silicon (M1 onwards) or Intel Macs (2015 onwards). It weighs 13 MB. Some image AI features (background removal) require macOS 14.

Does it replace Finder?

It lives alongside it. Finder remains your system's Finder; SuperFinder is where you work when you manage files seriously. Labels, favorites and the clipboard interoperate between both.

How many Macs does the license cover?

All of yours. It's a personal license, not per-device.

How do updates work?

The app updates itself (Sparkle, the macOS standard). SuperFinder menu → "Check for Updates…" or automatically. Every build is signed and notarized.

What if it's not for me?

The download is a 14-day free trial with every feature (afterwards it keeps working with a friendly reminder to buy). And if you buy and regret it, 14-day no-questions refund via the contact form or directly with Paddle from your receipt.

What's new

Version history

The app updates itself (Sparkle). Here's what's been changing.

1.3.4 Latest Oct 9, 2026
  • Opening network hosts: in the scanner, opening a host (double-click) lets you choose how in a clear dialog: open in the browser, connect via SFTP or mount SMB, depending on what it offers.
1.3.2 Oct 8, 2026
  • Extract in place: unzipping a file (double-click or menu) now extracts into the same folder as the archive, in a folder named after it, just like Finder.
  • Improved network scanner: sortable columns, a single window, and right-click to open a host in the browser (if it has a web server), connect via SFTP, mount SMB or copy its IP.
  • Network drives: the status bar now shows the correct free space and item count on SMB/AFP volumes; and two scanner crashes were fixed.
  • SFTP pane: clicking a sidebar location returns to local files (the pane used to stay stuck on SFTP).
1.3.1 Sep 23, 2026
  • Out-of-space warning when copying: if the destination volume is full (e.g. a full NAS), SuperFinder now warns you clearly before starting instead of leaving the copy stalled with no explanation. Works for local and network drives.
1.3.0 Sep 15, 2026
  • Interactive SSH terminal: a new tabbed terminal window (⌃⌘K). Real shell with colors, vim/top, resizing, copy/paste and font size; password or key auth (ed25519/RSA), with your ~/.ssh keys listed automatically. Shares saved hosts and keychain with SFTP.
  • Toolbar quick actions: buttons for Connect to Server, SFTP, SSH Terminal and Network Scanner.
1.2.1 Sep 7, 2026
  • Guest connections to network drives: fixed error −6003 when connecting to a NAS or shared server without a password. It now uses the native macOS connection dialog and share picker, just like Finder.
1.2.0 Sep 2, 2026
  • Real search: search now works recursively through the open folder and its subfolders —and optionally your whole Mac— by name and by content.
  • Network drives: a new "Shared" section in the sidebar discovers SMB/AFP servers on your network and mounts them with one click.
  • Folder sorting: when sorting by date, size or any column, folders now sort together with files (with an option to keep them on top).
1.1.2 Aug 23, 2026
  • The menu correctly reflects license state, plus minor stability fixes.
Earlier versions 1.0.x – 1.1.x
  • Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), minimum lowered to macOS 12 (Monterey), and the first releases with dual pane, Visor, copy queue, SFTP and the rest of the toolkit.
