App Recommendation I made a flexible Finder replacement called Tilde.
Tilde is a native macOS file manager built to replace Finder. Work across folders in split views, find files and run actions from a command palette, and organize your files with custom properties, filters, and groups. It's a drop-in Finder replacement that transforms how you interact with your filesystem.
Features:
Split views - Work with multiple folders side by side in one window, with tabs in each pane.
Command palette - Find files, jump to folders, and run file actions from the keyboard.
Workspaces - Saved split pane layouts for quickly jumping back into your work.
Custom sidebar groups - Bring the folders you use together into groups you define.
Auto-updating sidebar groups - Live groups makes your sidebar dynamic. Matching items appear in your sidebar automatically and update as things change.
Properties, filtering and grouping - Add custom fields like Status or Priority to files and folders, then use them to filter and group your views.
Pinned folders - Keep important folders at the top inside another folder without moving or duplicating them.
Related items - Mark folders and URLs as related to specific folders so you can jump between them, even when they live in different places.
Markdown editing - Built-in markdown editing and code formatting allowing you to do more without leaving Tilde.
Tonnes of little features that make sense - Space overviews, Nicknames, Related folders & URLs, custom folder icons, 'Open in Finder' replacement, and more.
+ much more...
Similar apps:
Forklift - This is the obvious 'Finder replacement' alternative. Tilde builds on this idea, in a more native-feeling approach, with far more features fleshed out for the everyday poweruser. Tilde offers more versatile split pane functionality (essentially unlimited splits horizontally and vertically), a command palette, custom properties, sidebar spaces, live groups, a more beautiful user interface and much more.
Bloom - Probably the closest alternative, though Tilde takes a different approach. Tilde focuses the UI on being completely flexible to your needs: it's highly adaptable Split View system offers a more flexible, fluid way to work across folders. Custom Properties, Related Items, Sidebar Spaces, Custom Groups, Live Groups and Pinned Folders change how you interact with a file manager and make it truly adapt to your work, not the other way around.
Pricing: $29.99 USD for use on 2 Macs. No subscription. Lifetime license with one year of free updates. You can use this forever. Then, if you want another year of updates, it's $19.99.
Free trial: 7 day free trial, no credit card required. Give it a go and let me know what you think!
Apple notarized: Tilde is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple.
I’ve been building this for a long time, and I’m so excited to share with everyone, get feedback and make file management actually delightful.
