anf - all new finder
Finder, reforged — a fast, native file manager for Mac
Swift + AppKit, no Electron, no config. It fuses Finder, Windows Explorer, and orthodox (Norton Commander / Mdir) workflows: split panes (2/4-up), tabs you can lock to a folder, an embedded terminal, a command palette, and fully remappable keybindings (Vim/Emacs included). Opens a 26k-item folder in ~0.1s. Optional on-device + Claude AI: summarize, auto-tag, organize-by-content, find photos by place. Free, donation-funded, Developer-ID signed & notarized.
Hey Product Hunt,
I love macOS but Finder always fought me — no real split view, weak keyboard nav, no terminal where I'm working. So I built anf: a native (Swift + AppKit, zero Electron) file manager that merges Finder, Explorer, and orthodox commander workflows.
What people seem to like:
• Fast — native getattrlistbulk bulk reads; a 26,000-item folder opens in ~0.1s.
• Split panes + lockable tabs — park a network drive on one side, work on the other.
• Keyboard-first — a command palette and fully remappable keybindings (Vim/Emacs nav out of the box).
• Built-in terminal + open-in-iTerm/Ghostty.
• Optional AI — on-device or Claude: summarize, auto-tag, organize-by-content, search photos by place.
It's free and donation-funded — signed & notarized, installs clean (brew install --cask anf).
I ship fast (often same-day from a GitHub issue 😄). Would love your feedback — what's the one Finder annoyance you'd want fixed first?
