Why it exists

Finder is fine for most people.
You're not most people.

If you move and audit files all day, the macOS default leaves you reaching for extra windows and terminal workarounds. Swift Salamander is one tool built for how you actually work.

Built for file work

Everything you'd hand-roll yourself, in one keyboard-first window.

Two panes, one window

The natural shape of "from here to there." Independent tabs, history, and view mode per pane. Drag between them to move or copy.

One command palette

Hit ⌘K from anywhere. Type a few letters, hit Enter, run any action. Hands stay on the home row. 20+ consistent shortcuts.

Local, network, cloud.

S3, Drive, Dropbox, B2, OneDrive, SFTP, WebDAV, SMB, FTP. One sidebar, one keymap. Drag a cloud file like it's on your desk.

Git status, inline

Modified, added, deleted, untracked, conflicted. A clean badge per row, branch in the status bar. No switching to a terminal.

Quick Look + preview pane

Spacebar previews like Finder, plus an always-on preview that shows the current selection. Code renders with syntax highlighting.

Batch rename, safely

Live regex preview, conflict detection, atomic apply. Trash-first deletes and atomic writes mean nothing ever disappears silently.

Look & feel

Eleven themes and six accents you can switch live.

Every surface uses perceptual color. Switch theme, accent, and density without restarting. Make it yours.
