Sidecar awareness — never move half a project

A clip has its subtitles and thumbnail, a RAW has its JPEG and its XMP edits, a Sketch file has its assets folder. Other file managers treat each one as a stranger, so you copy the footage and find out in the edit that the captions stayed behind.

Copy or move a file with companions beside it, and Preflight lists them, ticked, before anything starts — never quietly added behind your back. Bulk Rename renames them to match, so clip_01.srt becomes Intro.srt the moment clip_01.mov becomes Intro.mov. The pairings are yours to edit, and you can add your own.

Folder sizes, and the columns Finder never had

Every folder's real size, right in the Size column: added up in the background with a spinner, never a frozen list, and kept current as files change deep inside. A size bar behind each one shows its share of the folder, so the space hogs stand out at a glance. Sort by size to see where the space went, then by Days Since Opened to find what you haven't touched in years.

Add Date Taken, Camera, Lens, Dimensions and Megapixels for photos; Duration, Codec, Bit Rate and Sample Rate for video and audio; Pages for PDFs; and a SHA-256 Checksum on demand. Every column sorts, on what's known while the rest fills in. In every edition.

Bulk operations — say what you want, check every file, then run

Turn a trip's worth of iPhone HEIC photos into JPEGs you can share anywhere, resized and with the location stripped out, in one pass. Merge a folder of PDFs, split or rotate them, remux video to MP4 without re-encoding, or convert audio. Rename hundreds of files by date taken, camera and a counter; copy, move or delete everything that matches.

On a Mac with Apple Intelligence you don't have to work out the settings: type “make these web-ready: 2000px long edge, strip GPS, JPEG 80%” or “Cascais, then date taken, then a 2-digit counter”, and Bulk Convert or Bulk Rename fills itself in. A dry run still shows every file and what will happen to it before anything runs. In maXfolders and Pro.

Preflight — will it survive the trip?

Before a copy or move starts, maXfolders walks everything you're about to send and checks it against the destination. You find out what won't make it before the first file moves, not halfway through or weeks later.

Will it fit, and how much space is left afterwards? What will it overwrite? Which names can't coexist on exFAT, NTFS or SMB, like Report.pdf and report.pdf? Which names, path lengths and 4 GB files won't survive a Windows or FAT32 disk, and which Finder tags will be left behind? It also catches locked and in-use files and symlink loops. For uploads to a server, it can store accented names in the composed form Linux and Windows expect.

A clean check goes straight on without a single extra click. The panel only appears when something needs your attention. In maXfolders and Pro.

Compare

See what changed, then keep what you want

Compare two folders by name. Matching items go green, missing items red, and same-name files with a different date orange. Then Keep Source or Keep Destination — with an option to keep only the newer file.

Need the contents of two files? File Comparator shows a side-by-side text or hex view, jumps between differences, and can hide matching lines.

Terminal PRO

A terminal that follows your path

F11, ⌃⌘T, or the terminal icon opens a colored, resizable shell below either pane — no separate window, no switching to Terminal.app. As you navigate — Backspace, a double-click, the path bar, or a bookmark — the shell sends a cd to match, so its prompt always sits in the folder you're looking at.

Inside a git working tree, a small toolbar above the shell adds Git Status, Fetch, Pull, Push, and Commit All…, alongside Clear Terminal — and a button that opens Git Assistant PRO for that repository. Each pane remembers its own height and whether it's open.
