FileOctopus is a native Mac file manager that works like Finder (same views, Quick Look and shortcuts) and adds what Finder lacks: up to 16 split panes per window, named workspaces, a file shelf, folder comparison and an undo that survives quitting. PRO adds SFTP, WebDAV, S3 and R2. Needs macOS 15 on Apple silicon. The free version is limited to 2 panes; PRO is a one-time purchase for 2 Macs, with a 14-day trial.

    Finder alternatives usually ask you to learn a new app. FileOctopus keeps Finder's views and shortcuts and adds panes and workspaces on top, so switching costs nothing. Made by Max Luong, who worked on Day One and Tumblr.
