What is Empiric Commander?

Empiric Commander is a professional dual-pane file manager for macOS, iPadOS, and iPhone, inspired by the classic Norton Commander workflow and built 100% in SwiftUI with Swift 6.

Key capabilities:

  • Dual-pane browsing with tabs, drag-and-drop transfers between panes, and full keyboard navigation
  • Remote connections to SFTP, FTP, Amazon S3, and Azure Blob Storage with parallel background transfers
  • Integrated terminal (SwiftTerm) on macOS with automatic directory syncing between the active pane and the shell
  • Universal Shelf for staging files across Mac, iPad, and iPhone, synced via iCloud (5 GB)
  • Workspaces to save and restore your pane layouts and tabs
  • Batch rename with regex patterns, sequential numbering, and date insertion
  • Archive browsing (ZIP and more) without extracting
  • Quick Look preview, live filtering, metadata search, Auto-Organize
  • Native Apple frameworks only - no third-party dependencies
  • Notarized by Apple, hardened runtime, Keychain-based credential storage

Single one-time purchase ($29) covers 1 Mac + 1 iPad + 1 iPhone for the entire v1 major version, with a free 7-day trial (no credit card).
