Explorer for Mac

macOS · File manager

The Windows Explorer feel, right on your Mac.

Explorer for Mac is a native macOS file manager built for people coming from Windows. Stop fighting Finder — browse and manage files with the exact structure your hands already know.

  • Persistent folder tree, tabs, and Favorites — the navigation structure Windows users expect, always one click away
  • Cut, copy, paste, and ⌘R rename — your Windows keyboard shortcuts just work
  • Undo and Redo for renames, moves, deletes, and copies — ⌘Z to take it back, ⌘⇧Z or ⌘Y to redo
  • Editable address bar with typed paths, history, and drag-and-drop
  • Folder sizes right in the Details view — visible at a glance, sortable like any column
  • File safety first — Trash by default · fully offline · zero telemetry

Built for Windows muscle memory

Everything that made File Explorer fast is here — the folder tree, tabs, and the keyboard shortcuts your hands already know. No relearning, no fighting Finder.

Folder tree & tabs

A persistent tree on the left and tabs across the top, plus Favorites and an editable address bar. Drag a file onto another tab — hover to spring it open, then drop — just like Windows 11.

Windows shortcuts

Cut, copy, and paste with ⌘X / ⌘C / ⌘V, rename with ⌘R, and jump to a typed path with ⌘L. Type-ahead and arrow keys behave the way you expect.

Undo anything

Renames, moves, deletes, and copies are all undoable — ⌘Z to take it back, ⌘⇧Z or ⌘Y to redo. Deletes go to the Trash, never silently gone.

Stays up to date

Built-in updates keep Explorer current — check any time from the menu, or let it check for you. An update never interrupts a copy or move in progress, and it waits until your work is safely finished before it installs.

Right-click, like you're used to

Cut, copy, duplicate, and rename — plus Copy Path and Open in Terminal. The context menu works the way your muscle memory expects.

How to install

1

Download

Grab the DMG with the download button above and open it.

2

Drag to Applications

Drag the Explorer icon into the Applications folder — that's the whole install.

3

Allow folder access

On first launch, macOS asks for access to Desktop, Documents, and Downloads. It's the standard permission for browsing files; change it anytime in System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security.

When the DMG opens, drag Explorer onto the Applications folder.

Privacy. Explorer for Mac works fully offline and never collects or transmits anything — no file names, no paths, no usage data. The app is notarized by Apple. Found a problem? Use Help ▸ Report a Bug inside the app, or write to support@yjlab.io.

Release notes

1.5.20 2026-08-27

  • Opening a folder right after naming it no longer fails on network shares. New Folder ▸ type a name ▸ Enter ▸ Enter reported “‘untitled folder’ can't be found” on SMB volumes. The rename had already succeeded, but the listing still carried the pre-rename URL until the folder re-read finished — long enough over SMB for the second Enter to navigate to a name that no longer existed. A completed rename now updates the listing immediately, and an Enter that arrives while the rename is still in flight waits for it instead of opening the old row. A rejected rename (name already taken) reports as before and opens nothing.

1.5.19 2026-08-27

  • The tab and address bands are visible again on macOS 26 and later. The new OS draws a glass “scroll edge” wash over the top of any pane the toolbar hands its own titlebar section, which blurred the tab strip and the address field — including the path editor — into an unreadable smear. Explorer no longer claims those sections, so both bands render normally. On macOS 26+ the toolbar's command block now sits at the window's leading edge and the redundant window title is hidden; the tab strip already names the current folder.
  • Going up now leaves the folder you came from selected. The Up button, Go ▸ Enclosing Folder, and Backspace all reselect and scroll to the child folder in the parent listing, the way a breadcrumb click already did. Previously the selection was whatever happened to be highlighted last, so the folder stayed selected only by coincidence.
  • 35 mm equivalent focal length in the photo preview. Photos that record it now show a “35 mm equiv.” row beside the actual focal length. Phone photos often store only the equivalent, so those finally show a focal length at all. Full-frame bodies, where the two numbers agree, don't get a redundant second row.
  • The photo preview panel now lists Size and Created first, then the camera facts starting with Dimensions, so file information and photo information read as two separate blocks.

1.5.18 2026-08-22

  • Moving files within a NAS share is up to 5× faster. A 232-file (38 GB) same-share move measured 53s before and 11.5s after. Three fixes landed together: the file list no longer restarts a full folder re-enumeration for every single file an operation drops in (refreshes now coalesce — at most one every 3 seconds while an operation runs, 2 seconds on network folders otherwise); per-item path normalization no longer walks the whole path over SMB for every file (the batch's shared parent is resolved once); and thumbnail generation pauses while a copy/move/delete is in flight, so its large reads can't crowd out the operation's SMB traffic (pending thumbnails render as soon as the operation ends).
  • The “already in this folder” paste check now compares paths instead of URLs, so folders whose names differ only in Unicode composition (Korean names on SMB shares) can't slip past it.

1.5.17 2026-08-06

  • Pasted files are selected after a paste, like Windows Explorer. After ⌘V finishes, the pasted file(s) become the selection and scroll into view — instant proof the paste landed, even when you pasted while another file's row was highlighted. Works for copy and cut pastes, uses the final names (so a conflict resolved as “keep both” selects “file 2.txt”), and only applies to items that landed in the folder you're viewing.
  • Undo-restore now reselects restored items in icon views too (previously the reselection only worked in List/Details).
  • Reselection after refresh no longer misses folders or files whose names differ only in Unicode composition (Korean names on SMB shares).

1.5.16 2026-08-06

  • Cleaner separation between tabs, address bar, and file list. The tab strip now sits on a slightly darker band — like Windows 11's title area — with hairline dividers between the tab row, the address row, and the column headers. The breadcrumb path is enclosed in a rounded address field matching the search box beside it, so the path reads as an address bar instead of floating text. Purely visual: navigation, path editing, and drag-and-drop onto path segments behave exactly as before.

1.5.15 2026-08-06

  • Roomier file list, Windows Explorer-style. The List and Details views now use taller rows with slightly larger text and icons, matching the airier feel of Windows 11 File Explorer's details view — this is the new default. Prefer the previous tighter look? Toggle Compact View in the toolbar's View menu (next to Show Hidden Files), just like Windows 11's Compact view. The choice applies to every window and tab, persists across launches, and never touches your per-folder view modes. Icon views, the sidebar, and Gallery are unchanged.

1.5.14 2026-08-03

  • Inline rename could rename the wrong file. In Details/List view, if the listing re-sorted while the name editor was open — which reliably happened right after New Text Document or New Folder — the rename could land on whatever item slid into that row (typically the folder's hidden .DS_Store). Symptoms included a spurious “name is already taken” alert after creating a new text document, and renamed “text” files that TextEdit refused to open. The rename now always targets the item the editor was opened on. Icon views were unaffected.

1.5.13 2026-08-01

  • Per-folder view mode, like Windows Explorer. Each folder now remembers the view you chose for it — Extra Large/Large/Medium/Small Icons, List, or Details — and restores it every time you return, across tabs, navigation routes, and app restarts. Folders you haven't customized default to Details. Subfolders without their own setting inherit the view of the nearest customized parent folder (without saving it), so a photo library set to Large Icons browses in Large Icons all the way down; explicitly choosing a view in a subfolder — including Details — pins it. Stored settings are bounded and live in app preferences — nothing is written into your folders.
  • Fixed a rare crash in the address-bar suggestion dropdown when it was dismissed while the list was still updating.

1.5.12 2026-07-25

  • Tag-colored folders now show their color, like Finder. A folder with a color tag renders its icon tinted in the tag's hue — glyphs (the download arrow, the music note) and shading preserved — everywhere folders appear: the file list, icon views, Gallery, the preview panel, sidebar Favorites, the folder tree, and Home tiles. Previously the color only appeared for folders customized via Finder's "edit folder" feature; plain tagged folders stayed blue. Files keep the tag dots, matching Finder.

1.5.11 2026-07-24

  • Shift-click now selects a range in the icon views and the Gallery. In the icon view modes (Extra Large through Small) and the Gallery, Shift-clicking only toggled the clicked item — like ⌘-click — instead of selecting everything between your last click and the clicked item, the way the List and Details views (and Windows Explorer) do. All views now select the contiguous range, and the anchor survives repeated Shift-clicks so you can widen or narrow the range.

1.5.10 2026-07-24

  • Toolbar moved next to your files, Windows 11 style. The navigation and command buttons (Back/Forward/Up, New Folder, Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename, Share, Delete, Sort, View) now start at the file list's left edge — the same spot as the Windows 11 command bar — instead of sitting at the window's far right. The toolbar follows the sidebar divider as you resize it. The Preview toggle stays on the right: above the preview pane while it's open, at the window's edge while it's closed.

1.5.9 2026-07-15

  • Choose your terminal app. "Open in Terminal" now uses whichever terminal you pick in Settings ▸ Terminal — iTerm2, Warp, Ghostty, WezTerm, Tabby, Hyper, or the built-in Terminal — with an "Other…" chooser for any other app. It still defaults to the system Terminal, so nothing changes unless you want it to, and your choice takes effect on the next "Open in Terminal".

1.5.8 2026-07-14

  • Copy Path keyboard shortcut and menu item. Copy Path is now in the Edit menu (in its own section below Move to Trash, matching the right-click menu) with a ⌥⌘C shortcut, like Finder's "Copy as Pathname". It was previously only in the right-click menu, so the shortcut was neither discoverable nor available. Works in both the file list and the gallery view.

1.5.7 2026-07-14

  • Finder color tags now show their color. A folder or file tagged with a standard Finder color (Red, Blue, …) showed only a hollow outline instead of the colored dot when the tag's name was in a different language than the app (for example a Korean "빱간색" tag in the English app). The color is now resolved from the system's own tag definitions, so standard color tags appear correctly regardless of language, in both the file list and the preview panel.
  • The folder preview no longer jitters. While a folder was selected in the preview panel, the icon and its info could squirm up and down continuously — even after the folder's size had finished calculating. The preview now ignores an unchanged re-selection and updates streaming values in place, so it stays still.

1.5.6 2026-07-10

  • New Text Document. Right-click the empty area of a folder (or use File ▸ New Text Document) to create an empty .txt file with its name ready to edit — Windows Explorer's "New ▸ Text Document", including collision-safe naming and undo that removes the file only while it is still empty.
  • Creating a folder or text file in symlinked locations (such as /tmp) now opens the inline name editor. The editor could silently fail to appear there; it now opens reliably, and a missed attempt retries instead of giving up.

1.5.5 2026-07-10

  • Double-clicking the system links var, tmp, and etc (on Macintosh HD) now navigates inside Explorer instead of opening Finder. These root-level items are system symbolic links; a quirk in how their targets were resolved made them look like plain files. They now open in place as folder links, like any other folder.

1.5.4 2026-07-08

  • Fully fixes the crash when previewing a video and then moving to another file. 1.5.3 fixed one cause; recent macOS also crashed while reconfiguring the video player's controls as the preview closed. Switching away from a video or audio file can no longer crash the app. Playback is unaffected.

1.5.3 2026-07-08

  • The app no longer crashes when you preview a video and then move to another file. A change in how recent macOS versions analyze video frames could crash the app while a video preview was closing; that analysis is now turned off for previews. Video playback is unaffected.

1.5.2 2026-07-07

  • Removed a settings section and a menu item that shipped before they were ready for use. Nothing about how the free app works changes.

1.5.1 2026-07-05

  • The preview pane no longer freezes when you open a folder on a slow or unresponsive network share. Counting a folder’s items now runs on its own track, so a hung share can’t hold up previews of your other files.
  • A document preview no longer goes blank after entering and leaving full screen. The Quick Look preview now reloads itself correctly when the window returns from full screen.
  • Files you can’t open explain why again in the preview pane. For documents shown via Quick Look, a “you don’t have permission” or “file not found” note appears when the file can’t be read — matching the rest of the app.
  • The folder “N items” line now matches the list. With Show Hidden Files on, the preview pane’s item count includes hidden items too, so it agrees with what you see.
  • App bundles show their size in the preview pane once measured, matching the Size column and status bar.
  • Files with many Finder tags show a “+N” indicator instead of silently cutting the extra tags off.

1.5.0 2026-07-05

  • The preview panel now tells you as much as Finder’s Get Info. For folders and files without a visual preview, the info panel shows the created and last-opened dates, any Finder tags (as color chips), and — for folders — how many items they hold, alongside the name, kind, size, and modified date it already showed. Fields with no value are simply left out, so nothing reads as empty or “Unknown.” Free for everyone.
  • Google Drive and other cloud files no longer show as 0 KB. Online-only documents (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and similar placeholder files) keep no data on disk, so their size read as zero; Explorer now shows their real size, matching Finder.

1.4.0 2026-07-05

  • Explorer updates itself now. Choose “Check for Updates…” from the Explorer menu and, if a newer version is out, Explorer downloads it, verifies its signature, replaces itself, and relaunches — no more re-downloading from the website. Turn on automatic checking to be told about new versions as they ship; Explorer only ever downloads an update after you agree to install it, and it never interrupts a copy or move that’s in progress. This is free for everyone.
  • A nudge to install into Applications. If you run Explorer straight from the disk image (where updates can’t work), it now offers to move itself into your Applications folder in one click.

1.3.1 2026-07-04

  • The address bar edits with a click, no more edit button. The small “A” button after the breadcrumbs is gone. Click a folder in the path to navigate to it, or click the empty space to its right to type a path directly — exactly like Windows Explorer’s address bar. ⌘L still works too.
  • Ejecting a busy network drive no longer fails silently. When a network share wouldn’t unmount because it was in use, the drive sometimes stayed in the sidebar with no explanation; the “Couldn’t Eject” message now always appears so you know why and can try again.

1.3.0 2026-07-04

  • Remembered network locations (map network drive). Every network share you mount is now remembered and always shown in the sidebar’s Locations, the way Windows keeps a mapped drive visible. When macOS silently unmounts an idle NAS share it stays listed as a dimmed, disconnected entry; one click reconnects it through the system (your keychain handles the password — Explorer never asks for or stores one) and opens it. Right-click offers “Forget Network Location” to drop a share you no longer use.
  • New app icon built with Apple’s Icon Composer, so it renders with the native Liquid Glass depth and lighting on macOS 26 and later.
  • The selection size in the status bar no longer flickers. Selecting a folder while its parent directory was being written to could blink the size between the measured value and “Calculating…” endlessly; a folder whose size is already known now shows it instantly and stays put.
  • Network volumes no longer re-trigger the macOS privacy prompt. With a NAS share mounted, the “access files on network volumes” prompt could reappear repeatedly; each share is now checked once per session.

1.2.0 2026-07-03

  • Restore in the Trash. Selecting trashed items and choosing Restore — from the context menu or the File menu — moves each one back to the folder it was deleted from, under its original name, matching the Windows Recycle Bin’s signature verb. Works for items trashed by Explorer itself and for items trashed by Finder or other apps (read from the system’s own put-back metadata). Items whose origin is unknown are skipped and disclosed in a summary; a fully successful restore stays silent. Restore is undoable as one step.
  • Restore now resolves Finder-trashed items reliably. The put-back metadata reader misparsed the system’s .DS_Store once the Trash held more than a handful of items, so Restore offered nothing for them; it now reads real multi-node files and returns absolute original paths.

1.1.22 2026-07-03

  • Get Info shows real folder and package sizes. The info panel now reads the same measurement the Size column shows (including the “≥” partial convention) instead of a flat “—” for every folder, package, and library. Items not measured yet still show “—”; the read-only panel never starts a scan of its own.
  • The preview pane shows a package’s measured size (Lightroom/Photos libraries, .app bundles) once it has been measured, matching the Size column and status bar.
  • Trash hygiene: Paste, New Folder, and Rename are disabled inside the Trash, matching Windows’ Recycle Bin and Finder. Files can no longer be pasted or created into the Trash, and trashed items keep their system-managed names so restoring stays reliable. Cut and Copy remain — they are the recovery verbs for moving or copying items back out.

1.1.21 2026-07-03

  • Paste in the file context menu. Right-clicking a file now offers Paste, pasting into the current folder exactly like ⌘V — no more hunting for blank space in a full folder just to reach the background menu.
  • Context menu regrouped. Related verbs now sit together: all the “open elsewhere” actions (New Tab, New Window, Show in Finder, Open in Terminal) form one group, Copy Path moved next to Get Info (matching Windows 11’s “Copy as path”), and Get Info closes the menu like Windows’ Properties.
  • Selection size now counts packages. Selecting items that include a package (a Lightroom library, Photos library, .app, …) omitted the package’s size from the status bar total, contradicting the Size column. Packages now measure like folders, and protected libraries are disclosed as “≥” partial totals.

1.1.20 2026-07-01

  • Delete progress bar no longer sits stuck at 0. When deleting many files — especially on a slow network/SMB drive — the progress popup showed a bar pinned at 0 (e.g. “0/97”) that never advanced, then the operation just finished. Delete and Move-to-Trash now report per-item progress, so the bar fills as files are removed and the current file name is shown. Copy/move progress is unchanged.

1.1.19 2026-06-30

  • Loading indicator for slow folders. When opening a folder that takes a while to list (such as a remote/SMB share), the file pane now shows a centered spinner with a “Loading…” label instead of a blank area. It only appears after a short delay, so fast local folders never flash it, and it disappears the moment the first item streams in or the load finishes.

1.1.18 2026-06-30

  • Large RAW (DNG) files no longer peg the CPU or freeze the preview. Selecting a big RAW made the preview spin while the app decoded the entire RAW image (a 115 MB panorama took ~18 seconds at full tilt), and because that decode couldn’t be cancelled, moving to another file left it running — pinning the CPU and blocking further previews. The preview now uses the RAW’s embedded preview image when it’s large enough (≈0.1s instead of ~18s) and cancels an in-progress decode the moment you select something else. Everyday photos still decode at full quality.

1.1.17 2026-06-30

  • Video files now show a poster-frame thumbnail. In icon and gallery views, movies (MP4, MOV, M4V, and other AVFoundation-supported formats) display a real frame from the clip instead of the generic movie icon — portrait clips are rotated correctly, and the gallery keeps its play badge on top. Formats macOS can’t decode (e.g. older AVI/WMV) fall back to the generic icon as before.
  • Photo thumbnails load much faster in image-heavy folders. Icon and gallery thumbnails now use a photo’s embedded thumbnail when available instead of always decoding the full-resolution image, cap how many decode at once so a folder of hundreds of photos can’t saturate the CPU, and cancel decodes for tiles you’ve scrolled past.
  • HEIC photos without an embedded thumbnail now preview. Such files showed a blank HEIC icon because the fast embedded-thumbnail path returns nothing for them; they now fall back to a full decode so a thumbnail always appears.

1.1.16 2026-06-29

  • No more .smbdelete ghost files when deleting a previewed video on a network share. Deleting a file open in the preview pane closes the preview first so the network server can unlink it cleanly. On SMB shares the match deciding which preview to close compared URLs exactly, which failed for non-ASCII (e.g. Korean) names because the server returns paths in a different Unicode form — so the video stayed open through the delete and the server left an undeletable .smbdeleteXXXX tombstone behind. The match is now Unicode-insensitive, so the preview is released and the file deletes cleanly.
  • No flash of “untitled folder” when naming a new folder. After you typed a new folder’s name, the list could briefly repaint the old placeholder name before the rename finished. The listing now holds its refresh until the rename lands, so the name you typed stays put.

1.1.15 2026-06-28

  • New Folder now reliably stays in rename mode. Creating a folder put it into inline-rename as before, but the editor could be torn out from under you the instant the folder’s size was measured — most visibly on network volumes, whose sizes resolve slowly, and on a freshly opened window — leaving the folder committed as “untitled folder”. The size-column repaint now waits until you finish naming the folder, so the rename field stays put.

1.1.14 2026-06-27

  • Calmer, Finder-style file list colours. In the details list, only the file name now reads in the full-strength text colour; the Date Modified, Type, and Size columns are rendered a step softer so your eye lands on names first and the list is easier on the eyes. Hidden files fade their metadata one step further still.
  • The active sort column stands out in the header. The header of the column you’re sorting by is shown in the bright text colour while the other column headers sit back in a softer tone — matching how Finder highlights the current sort — so it’s obvious at a glance how the list is ordered.

1.1.13 2026-06-26

  • Clicking an ancestor in the path bar keeps your place. When you click a parent folder in the breadcrumb path list, the subfolder you just came from is now automatically selected (and focused) in the destination listing — the same way Windows Explorer keeps the previous folder highlighted as you navigate up. Click workspace while inside workspace ▸ signup, and signup lands selected, ready for the next keystroke.

1.1.12 2026-06-25

  • No more stuck .smbdelete files on network folders. When you previewed a PDF, video, or audio file and then deleted it from an SMB network share, macOS could leave behind an undeletable .smbdeleteXXXX ghost file — because the preview pane (and Quick Look) still held the file open, and SMB can’t delete a file that’s in use. Explorer now releases every preview handle, fully tearing down media players and closing Quick Look, immediately before a delete, so the file is unlinked cleanly.
  • Automatic cleanup of leftover network tombstones. After deleting on a network volume, Explorer makes a quiet, best-effort pass to remove any stray .smbdeleteXXXX / .nfsXXXX tombstones left by the server — for example, from another program that was indexing the file. Tombstones still in use are left untouched and retried; nothing else is ever removed.

1.1.11 2026-06-21

  • Always show file extensions. A new General setting (on by default) shows a file’s extension even when macOS would normally hide it — the way Windows Explorer always does. macOS lets each file carry a “hide extension” flag, so a file saved as report.png could appear as just report; Explorer now reveals the extension for those files too. Turn the setting off to restore native macOS behavior and respect each file’s hide-extension flag. Changing the setting updates every open list and gallery immediately.

1.1.10 2026-06-20

  • Drag files between tabs. While dragging a file (or files), hover over another tab for a moment and that tab springs open — then drop the items onto a folder inside it to move or copy them, just like in Windows 11 File Explorer. Same-volume drops move, cross-volume drops copy, and holding Option forces a copy, matching how drops already work inside a single tab. The tab header itself is never a drop zone, so releasing on the tab bar transfers nothing; and if you cancel a drag (or drop on empty space) after a tab sprang open, Explorer returns you to the tab you started from.

1.1.9 2026-06-20

  • Aliases and shortcuts open inside Explorer. A Finder alias or symlink pointing to a folder — including a Desktop shortcut to an external drive or a Google Drive link — now opens in Explorer on double-click instead of bouncing you to Finder. These links show a folder icon and expand in the sidebar tree like real folders; an alias to a file opens that file directly. Aliases to drives that aren’t mounted are left alone while browsing (no surprise mounts or freezes) and only mount when you open them. Broken aliases show a clear message instead of opening Finder.
  • Rename shortcut is now ⌘R (was F2). macOS reserves F2 for screen brightness on most laptops, so the old shortcut rarely worked; ⌘R always does.
  • Renaming no longer gets interrupted in busy folders. In folders that receive frequent background updates (such as your Home folder with a cloud drive), the rename text box could flash open and shut before you could type. It now stays open until you finish.

1.1.8 2026-06-17

  • Tidier Trash context menu. Inside the Trash, the right-click menu no longer offers Duplicate (which would clone a file back into the Trash) or Add to Favorites (pinning something you’re about to delete).
  • Rename sits above the delete verb in the context menu, so the safe action is above the destructive one.

1.1.7 2026-06-17

  • The Trash offers “Delete Immediately” instead of “Move to Trash”. Inside the Trash, “Move to Trash” was meaningless for already-trashed items. The menu now reads “Delete Immediately…” and permanently removes the selected items, with the usual confirmation.

1.1.6 2026-06-17

  • No more repeated “access other apps’ data” prompt. Browsing your home folder — or the whole disk at “Macintosh HD” — no longer pops the macOS prompt on every launch. Folder-size measurement never walks into ~/Library or the Trash, even while measuring a parent like /.
  • ~/Library and the Trash show “—” for size by default. They aren’t measured (to avoid that prompt). Grant Explorer Full Disk Access and they measure like any other folder.
  • Trash permission message points to the right place. Opening the Trash without access now sends you to Full Disk Access, not “Files & Folders” (which has no toggle for it).
  • “Calculating size…” indicator. The status bar shows a blinking indicator on the right while folder sizes compute in the background — it stays visible as you move around.

1.1.5 2026-06-15

  • No dead context menu on Home/Gallery. Right-clicking the Home or Gallery row no longer shows an all-greyed-out menu — it shows no menu at all.
  • Sort and View buttons disable on Home/Gallery. They don’t apply to those views, so they now appear disabled instead of looking active but doing nothing.

1.1.4 2026-06-15

  • Friendlier installer. The DMG opens to a laid-out install window — app on the left, arrow, Applications on the right.
  • Gallery context menu matches the file list, with the same image-relevant verbs (Open, Show in Finder, Copy, Duplicate, Rename, Share, Get Info…).
  • Undo in the Gallery. Rename, Move to Trash, and Duplicate are undoable (⌘Z) and redoable, and the grid refreshes immediately.
  • Home tiles have a context menu and follow the double-click convention (single click selects, double-click opens). Opening a bundle from Home launches it.
  • Fixes: image preview EXIF alignment, and empty folders no longer stay stuck on “Loading…”.

1.1.3 2026-06-15

  • macOS bundles now behave like files. Packages such as .app, .photoslibrary, and .lrlibrary sort with files, open/launch on double-click, and show their recursive size — matching Finder. Right-click for “Show Package Contents” to step inside.
  • Sidebar navigation after entering a package. A stale pin highlight could swallow the next click; it’s now cleared so a click always navigates.

1.1.2 2026-06-14

  • Folder-tree navigation options (“Expand to open folder”, “Show all folders”) and a deep-reveal fix.

1.1.1 2026-06-13

  • Fixed repeated Documents/Desktop/Downloads permission prompts (kqueue → FSEvents) and icon-view drag-into-subfolder.

1.1.0 2026-06-12

  • Undo/redo for file operations, plus paste/clipboard polish.
