FinderTools
Powerful Finder expander: Native file functions & menus
Stop cluttering your Mac with dozens of single-purpose utility apps. FinderTools is a single, lightweight native extension that supercharges Finder with true Cut/Paste, Secure Erase, Advanced Custom Menus, Clipboard navigation, and the classic "Red Quitter".
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Paolo from Italy, an Indie Dev. Here is why I built FinderTools.
Like many of you, I love macOS, but I’ve always been a bit baffled by some of Apple’s unique design choices. Why can’t we just cut and paste a file natively with Cmd+X? Why do apps stay open eating RAM when you click the red 'X'? And why is the context menu so limited?
I got tired of installing 5 different heavy menu-bar apps just to get these basic functionalities. So, I spent the last few months scratching my own itch and built a tool called FinderTools.
It’s a 100% native Swift extension (zero Electron garbage, negligible RAM footprint) that deeply integrates into the OS and adds these missing power-user features.
Here is what it actually does:
✂️ True Cut & Paste: Finally, hit Cmd+X to actually cut a file in Finder, and Cmd+V to paste it. Exactly the way it should be.
🛑 Advanced RedQuitter: When you close the last window of an app using the red 'X', it completely terminates the app instead of leaving it hiding in the background.
🔥 Zero-Fill Secure Erase: Erase sensitive data physically with zero-byte overwriting directly from the context menu so it can't be forensically recovered.
📦 Native Archiver: Compress, password-protect, or extract ZIP and TAR.GZ instantly from the right-click menu.
⌨️ Advanced Shortcuts & Menu: Create an empty text file anywhere with a hotkey, instantly open Terminal in the current directory, or use the "Clipboard Navigator" to jump to Windows-formatted paths.
🎁 Early Access for you: Since I’ve discovered some of my favorite apps here on Product Hunt, I want to give back. The first 100 people from this community that want to try it can use the code First100 at checkout to get it at half the normal cost forever (Lifetime license, valid for up to 3 personal Macs).
I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or let me know if you hit any bugs. I'll be hanging around in the comments!
Thanks for your attention, Paolo
