Navitosh for Mac
Features.
Browsing, search and file tools in one native Mac app.
Browsing
Tabs and windows
Open, duplicate, rename and reorder tabs. Drag a tab into its own window, or find it in the searchable tab overview.
Breadcrumbs and path completion
Jump to a parent folder from the toolbar, or enter a path with ⌘L and complete folder names with Tab.
Places and bookmarks
Keep favourite folders in the sidebar. Rename and reorder bookmarks, and find mounted disks and shares in Other Locations.
Grid and List views
Switch between icons and columns. Optionally expand folders inside List view to browse several levels at once.
Saved sessions and history
Reopen windows and tabs with their browsing state. Restore a closed tab, or go back to a search with its filters intact.
Quick Look and hidden files
Press Space to preview a file with native Quick Look. Show or hide hidden files with ⇧⌘.
Search and selection
Search without indexing
Search filenames in a folder and its subfolders, including locations that Spotlight hasn’t indexed.
Indexed content search
Use Spotlight to search indexed file contents, broaden to indexed locations, or browse Recent files.
Filename, date and size filters
Match whole names, beginnings or endings. Filter by extension, file type, dates and minimum or maximum file size.
Select similar files
Select files with matching names, the same extension or the same resolved file type. Invert a selection when that’s quicker.
Select by kind
Select files, folders, empty files or symbolic links, including loaded items in expanded List folders.
Transfers and recovery
A shared transfer queue
Run up to four file operations at once across your windows. Follow progress, transfer speed and estimated time remaining.
Pause and resume
Pause eligible operations and resume when you’re ready. Keep browsing while file work runs separately.
Interrupted-job recovery
Interrupted jobs reopen paused for explicit recovery. Retained temporary copies can be revealed from the operation details.
Conflict choices
Choose Replace, Rename or Cancel when a destination already exists. Apply a choice to all conflicts in a transfer.
Guarded Undo and Redo
Undo supported file operations with checks that refuse to overwrite newer changes. Undo does not restore a destination discarded by Replace.
Trash and Put Back
Move items to the macOS Trash. Put Back restores locations recorded when Navitosh moved the items there.
Renaming and organising
Batch-rename templates
Build names from original filenames, sequential numbers and file dates. Choose numbering order, padding and step.
Find and replace
Replace text across selected filenames, with optional case-insensitive matching and extension protection.
Name clean-up
Change case, add prefixes and suffixes, trim characters, or replace the final extension of regular files.
Preview before renaming
Review final filenames and check for collisions before applying a batch. Batch renames support Undo and interrupted-job recovery.
Create, group and duplicate
Create folders and empty files, group a selection into a new folder, or make numbered sibling copies of files and folders.
Symbolic links
Create or paste links to files and folders. Inspect a link’s destination or open its target location.
File details
Properties and folder sizes
Inspect file information, scan folder sizes and counts, and check available disk space. Open separate inspectors to compare items.
Permissions
View owners, groups and access permissions. Change basic permissions and executable flags where your account has permission.
SHA-256 checksums
Calculate a file’s checksum on demand, copy the result, or compare it with an expected digest.
Open With and package contents
Choose an application to open a file, or browse inside an app bundle with Show Package Contents.
Archives and paths
Create and extract archives
Create ZIP and TAR/XZ archives; extract ZIP and common tar archives. Encrypted archives and 7Z creation are not offered.
Copy paths and file URLs
Copy absolute, relative, parent-folder or shell-quoted paths, as well as percent-encoded file URLs.
Copy filenames
Copy selected names one per line, with or without their file extensions.
Open in Terminal
Open the selected folder, or the folder you’re currently browsing, straight in Terminal.
Language and preferences
27 interface languages
Follow your Mac’s language or choose one in Settings. Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu support right-to-left layout. Some translations are initial drafts.
Light and dark appearance
A native AppKit interface with macOS colours, materials and familiar keyboard shortcuts.
Per-tab view settings
Choose sorting, folders first, icon size and List columns. Each tab retains its own presentation and search filters.
Thumbnail controls
Set thumbnail preferences separately for local folders, external drives and shares, including a maximum preview file size.
