Folders that open the way Finder left them.

Published 5 November 2026. The notes, the known limits, the build number, the source commit and the disk image itself stay attached to 1.3.0 — a later version never rewrites this page.

What shipped in 1.3.0.

Folders

  • A folder opens in the view mode and list sort Finder remembered for it, read from its .DS_Store. Changing either here is written back for Finder to see; everything else in the file is kept. A switch in Settings turns it off.

The sidebar

  • Pictures, Movies and Music join Desktop, Documents and Downloads in Favorites.
  • Every mounted disk, disk image and share has an eject button.
  • The folders in the sidebar start closed instead of opened down to where the window begins.

Known limits in 1.3.0

  • Items moved to the Trash with a password have no Undo and no Put Back, because putting one back would need the password again; only items on the same disk as your Trash are moved this way.
  • A change made inside an opened folder by another app shows after the next reload (⌘R, or any file operation here); only the folder on screen is watched.
  • Opening everything stops after 10,000 entries and never enters a link to a folder. Typing in the toolbar field looks inside the folders that are open, not the ones that are closed.
  • In Recents and in search results the list is flat: there is no folder to open there.
  • The Get Info window shows what was true when it opened; it does not update while the file changes, and the name, comment and default app cannot be edited from it — only Locked.
  • In the terminal ⌃V always pastes, so a program that uses it itself (nano, vim in insert mode) no longer receives it.
  • Drives and servers were tried against disk images and a local SMB share, not yet against a NAS, another computer or a physical external drive.
  • Folder settings from Finder are read for the view mode and the Name, Date and Size sorts only; icon size, columns and window position are not used, and a .DS_Store this app does not understand is left untouched. Writing is checked against copies of real files, not yet watched by Finder itself.
  • The app has not been checked with VoiceOver or Full Keyboard Access, and has not been run by hand on an Intel Mac or on macOS 14 itself; the automated tests do pass on macOS 14 and 15.
  • Search results, Recents, Shared and the tags are queries, not folders: capped, read-only, and only as good as the Spotlight index behind them.
  • It does not replace Finder and does not integrate with the system as a Finder substitute.
