What is Rascal?
Rascal is a Finder replacement for macOS, built for people who'd rather not reach for the mouse. It has dual panes, a fuzzy command palette, vim keys, a live disk treemap, real Finder tags, and an inline terminal. It's plain AppKit, it launches fast, and it runs entirely on your Mac.
Free and open source. macOS 13 or later, Apple Silicon or Intel.
Features:
- A command palette and real vim navigation. Most things are reachable without the mouse.
- Dual and multi-pane layouts, tabs, and four view modes: List, Icon, Column, and Gallery.
- A live disk treemap. It's a colour-coded map of whatever folder you're in; click a tile to go deeper.
- Reads and writes the same Finder tags Finder does (kMDItemUserTags), and you can pin saved searches to the sidebar as smart folders.
- An inline terminal drawer that stays in sync with the active pane's directory.
- 17 themes out of the box, plus your own if you want to write one in JSON.
- It stays quick on large folders. There are some numbers further down if you care about that sort of thing.
