macOS Tahoe or later

The file manager that opens folders with the Enter key.

It's sad I had to make a new Finder — but here we go. Here's everything that's packed into it.

Backspace jumps straight to the parent folder.

Trash

The Delete key sends the selection to the Trash.

+R

Rename

Rename in place — no slow double-click dance.

+T

New tab

Open another tab and keep your place.

+X

Cut

Cut files, switch tabs, paste — that's a move.

+N

New window

A fresh window whenever you need one.

++

Snap

Send the window to any half or quarter.

The walkthrough

Everything that's in it, one step at a time.

The same tour from the video — so you know exactly what you're getting before you download.

01
Navigation

Enter goes in. Backspace goes up.

Make a folder, hit Enter — you're inside it. Press Backspace and you go one level up. The two keys your hands already reach for.

File operations

Press Delete — it goes to the Trash.

You press the Delete key and — wow, I know, right? — the file goes straight to the Trash. Exactly what that key should always have done.

Navigation

A path bar you can type into.

Need to copy-paste a location? Here you go — a real path bar. Click it, type any path, press Enter, and you're there.

Browsing

Tabs — cut here, paste there.

Constantly moving things around? Cmd-T opens a new tab. Select a bunch of files, Cmd-X to cut, switch to the other tab and paste — they actually move. And Cmd-N gives you a whole new window.

Editing

Rename with Cmd-R.

Renaming is a single shortcut — Cmd-R — and you edit the name right where it sits in the list.

Window management

Snap your windows. Quarters, halves, full screen.

Need to organize your windows? One hotkey per layout — and it snaps any frontmost window, not just SADFinder.

The Desktop

Real control over your Desktop.

Your Desktop sits in the sidebar like any other folder. When it's your front view, Delete clears real desktop files to the Trash — even with every other window minimized. Icons line up top to bottom, then left to right.

Make it yours

Favorites, sizing, and the view.

Favorite the folders you live in — they sit in the sidebar. Hold ⌘ and scroll to flip through six view modes, from a compact list to huge icons. A text-size slider in Settings dials in readability.

Never stuck

And a cheat sheet, built right in.

There's a lot more in here. Whenever you want to refresh your memory, the full shortcut cheat sheet is one click away — right inside the app.
