COLUMN FILER ▸ FEATURES
Deep folders, two places — never lost.
It isn’t trying to replace Finder. It focuses on just two ways of working: column view and organizing across two panes.
01
See complex folder trees at a glance with two panes, clearly.
Folders open column by column to the right. Drag to resize columns, and pin the subfolders you use most at the top.
02
Pin frequent folders at the top with the Column Shelf
Keep the folders you open most often in a column on a shelf at the top, where they’re easy to see and one click away.
03
Lost something? Narrow it down and find it.
Search uses the Spotlight index. Filter by match type, kind, extension, and date range, then move or copy results right from the list.
COLUMN FILER ▸ SAFETY
Notice before you delete.
For an app that handles files, we think not deleting things by mistake matters more than speed.
- Protecting your data ❶
-
Deleting always asks first. Deleting immediately can’t run until you tick a checkbox — every time, with no exceptions.
- Protecting your data ❷
-
When an item with the same name exists, nothing is overwritten automatically. You choose Keep Both, Skip, Replace, or Merge.
- Protecting your data ❸
-
When a move involves copying, such as to another drive, the original isn’t removed until the copy is complete.
- Protecting your data ❹
-
Moves within the same volume and renames can usually be undone afterward.
