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 · macOS 15+ · 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.
