Finder, reimagined. Beautifully native.
DockDuck is a fast, native macOS file manager: tabs, pinned files, tags, and instant search, all in one window that opens the moment you click. Built entirely in Swift, with none of the weight.
Free Pro Trial ยท macOS 14+ ยท Apple Silicon & Intel
Everything Finder isn't.
A file manager that's powerful and beautiful: the pro tools you paid other apps for, in something that finally feels native to macOS.
Native & instant
No spinners, ever. Folders, icons and previews render on the first frame. 100% Swift, zero Electron.
Pinned Start dashboard
Your most-used files and folders, one keystroke away. Plus Recents and tags, on a dashboard that opens with the app.
Dual-pane power
Two folders, side by side. Move and compare without juggling windows: the workflow pros switch for.
Compare before you copy
Point two panes at two folders and DockDuck lines them up: identical, modified, or only on one side. Then move what matters.
And a long list of niceties.
