Only for Mac

Mac
NorthPane is young and under active development, with new features landing steadily. Thank you for supporting an independent one-person project!
NorthPane is a dual-pane file manager for the Mac in the tradition of Norton Commander and Total Commander: two panels side by side, function keys F2 to F9, tabs, mask selection, and the same commands whether the pane shows your disk or a remote server.
It is built mainly for programmers and game developers, but it is just as happy helping anyone who works with a lot of files and wants the keyboard to do the heavy lifting.
EVERYDAY WORK
• Two panels with tabs, history and Brief / Full / Detailed listings
• Copy, move, rename and delete with the classic function keys
• Browse zip archives like folders, pack with ⌥F5, unpack with ⌥F9
• Compare two files by content or two whole directories
• File owner, Unix permissions and an information panel
• Norton theme with the blue EGA palette; English, Czech, German and Spanish
FOR DEVELOPERS
• Connect over SFTP or FTP/FTPS, with host keys checked against ~/.ssh/known_hosts
• Copy between your Mac and a server with the same F5 as between two folders
• Built-in viewer and editor (F3/F4) with syntax highlighting
• Hex view with a built-in ARM64 and x86 disassembler
• Checksum files (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512) that md5sum and shasum accept, and verification of theirs
FOR GAME DEVELOPERS
• Preview FBX models directly in the viewer, textures included
• Peek inside asset archives without unpacking them
• Verify the checksums of a build before you upload the release
STILL IN DEVELOPMENT
NorthPane is under active development: new features land steadily and feedback shapes what comes next. If it saves you time, thank you for your support. It means a lot to a one-person project.
