    Ngl I didn't think I needed a Finder replacement until I tried SADFinder. Coming from Windows, Finder always felt a bit off no click-to-enter, backspace didn't go back, stuff like that. This just... fixes it. Tabs, a path bar you can type into, cutting and pasting files actually works like it should. Small things, but they're the ones that were bugging me the most.

    I've been looking for a nice file manager for ages, but everything I found looked too old and outdated. This one won the race, it's been a smooth ride for the few weeks I've been using it for.

I like how smooth it runs and how you can adjust the style of the Finder. Also the developer reacts to questions with solutions / updates very rapidly!

What is SADFinder?

SADFinder is a fast, customizable file manager for Mac. Keep several folders open in tabs, jump anywhere with an editable path bar, filter the current folder, or search filenames and Spotlight-indexed document contents without losing your place. Organize files with dependable cut, copy, paste, rename, Trash, undo, and redo.

It includes six view modes, Quick Look that follows your selection, per-folder sorting and grouping, folder sizes in list view, sidebar favorites, Finder tags, ZIP tools, keyboard window layouts, real Desktop control, and the Dialog Picker for choosing files in standard Open, Save, and browser upload dialogs.

Choose from 17 built-in themes, Large Text layouts, High Contrast, and scalable content. Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive appear in the sidebar, with cloud-aware actions such as making files available offline or online-only. SADFinder requires macOS Sequoia 15 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Try every feature free for 7 days without a card. Plans are $5/month, $29/year, or $49 lifetime, with ongoing updates and use on up to three Macs.
