Tabs & split panes
Keep many locations open at once, each tab with its own history, sorting and view. Horizontal or vertical splits and three- or four-pane layouts put source and destination side by side.
A modern file manager, built for macOS
Tabs, split panes, global search, Space previews, batch rename, SFTP, Git status and LocalSend sharing — all your everyday file work, in one window.

One window for all your file work
Local files, archives, remote servers and sharing — no more hopping between apps.
Search & on-device image analysis
Press ⌘K to search filenames, PDF text and image OCR results globally. Recognition runs entirely on your Mac — browse photos by people, scenes, text, dates and places.
Preview with Space — no second app
Select a file and press Space to preview images, PDFs, text, documents and media. Even folders and nested archives open in place, and Markdown can be edited with a live rendered preview.
Batch rename workbench
Combine replace, regex, insert, numbering, dates and templates, and save rules as presets. Conflicts are checked before anything runs — and a finished batch can be undone.
SFTP & Git status
Save SFTP connections with password or key auth and verify the server fingerprint on first connect. Edit a remote file locally and it uploads automatically. Git status shows right next to your files.
LocalSend sharing
Send files and folders to LocalSend devices on your network from the context menu, and follow progress in the task panel. Nothing passes through a cloud.
Copilot: just say what you're looking for
Find files, inspect metadata, organize a selection, draft rename rules or convert formats in plain language. Copilot combines name, OCR, camera, place, date, people, tag, rating and property filters — and always shows you the plan before changing files or sending content to the model.
Bring your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint, model name and API key in Settings → Copilot. Usage is billed by that model provider.
Browse & create archivesBrowse and extract ZIP, TAR, 7Z and more; create ZIP (including password-protected), TAR.GZ and TAR.BZ2 archives.
File conversionMarkdown and text to Word or PDF, Word to PDF; SVG, ICO, ICNS and WebP to PNG or JPG.
File Delivery from the menu barA compact panel stays available after the main window closes — jump to Downloads, Desktop or favorites, preview, and drag files out.
Favorites, tags & ratingsA home dashboard with recents and frequent places. Finder tags keep working, and star ratings make important files easy to find.
ExtensionsInstall file-processing extensions from the plugin market or local .mexplug packages; developers can publish their own with the official SDK.
Private by designIndexes, tags, ratings, settings and analysis results stay on your Mac. Image recognition runs on-device — your files are never uploaded.
Keyboard-first, hands stay put
The defaults below can all be remapped in Settings → Shortcuts, with conflict checks. Hold ⌘ to reveal shortcut hints in the app.

Frequently asked questions
What are the system requirements? How do I install it?
You need macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. Download the DMG for your chip (macos for Apple Silicon, macos-intel for Intel), open it and drag Mac Explorer into Applications. The download bundles the runtime — no separate .NET installation is needed.
Are my files or data uploaded anywhere?
No. File indexes, tags, ratings, settings, image-analysis results and Copilot history are stored locally, and image recognition runs on your device. Only features you actively use go online: the optional photo place-name lookup, the AI provider you configure yourself, SFTP connections, and LocalSend transfers to devices you choose.
What does Copilot need? Does it cost extra?
Enter any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, a model name and your own API key under Settings → Copilot. Model usage is billed by that provider under its own pricing — separate from a Mac Explorer subscription. Copilot always asks for approval before sending file contents or changing files.
What's the difference between subscribing and buying outright?
Single Device is $7.99/month for 1 Mac; Multi-Device is $9.99/month for several Macs at once; Lifetime is a single $79.99 payment for permanent use, including future updates. Subscriptions can be cancelled anytime.
