One major thing I wish you could do (maybe you can but I just don't know) is to either have multiple instances of Commander One and/or have more than two panels in a larger window. Not only can you have multiple folders, but it works just like Finder-you can have tabs within each panel for quicker access.įigure 3 - Commander One's 'main window,' showcasing the 'dual-panel' capabilities. It comes in very handy when accessing multiple folders at once, because you can have them side by side. See Figure 3 below for an example of this. The biggest reason to use Commander One is because of its dual panel system. One thing I noticed is that they closely follow the macOS terminal themes. but it's not a huge deal.įigure 1 - Hotkey Menu in Commander One PreferencesĬommander One has various themes available.

For example, I had to disable F3 'View File' as a hotkey because it was replacing F3's system action to show Mission Control-so that's a bit annoying. There are lots of choices however, sometimes, they override the system shortcuts. I have not bought the pro version yet.Ī big feature of Commander One is assignable hotkeys (see Fig 1). Of course, this is not a complete list of features in the pro version, but these are some that stood out to me. The pro version also allows you to access files off a server at 'near-native' speeds.

The pro version gets you several features, such as an FTP client, integration with cloud services such as Box, Google Drive, and OneDrive, and also gives you a command line interface. It has both a free and a pro version (which costs $30). Just making this post to share my experience about Commander One, which is a cool file manager for Mac.
