Changelog

Every notable update to DockDuck. New releases arrive through the in-app updater. The latest is v1.1.8.

  1. 1.1.8 Latest

    Added

    • A new search, built for speed. DockDuck now keeps its own list of your files' names, so results appear while you type and no longer wait for Spotlight. The best match comes first, it learns from what you open, and several words can match along the path: "clients invoice" finds the invoice inside the Clients folder. External drives are included while they are connected, and apps are found by name.
    • A menu that helps while you type. Under the search field, choose between names and what is inside files, pick this folder or the whole Mac, add a kind, a date, a size or a tag in one click, and run a recent or a saved search again. The arrow keys move through it while you keep typing, and Option+Return searches inside files for what you typed.
    • Filters you can see. Every active filter shows as a chip inside the search field, and Backspace removes the last one. Filters work on their own, too: pick Images and Past 7 days without typing a word.
    • A redesigned Filters panel. Choose several kinds at once, a format, a size with a slider, a date and a tag. Save Search keeps the search in the sidebar and runs it again each time you open it.
    • Results that say where they are. In the icon view each result shows its folder under the name, and the bar at the bottom shows the whole path of what you select. Click any part of it to go there. When nothing matches in the folder, Search This Mac runs the same search everywhere.
    • Search on servers. Searching while you are on an FTP or SFTP server now looks through its folders by name.
    • A Search page in Settings. See how many items are indexed, include hidden and system folders if you want them, and rebuild the index.
    • Each folder remembers its view. Leave Downloads as a list and Pictures as icons, and each one opens that way the next time, with its sorting and column widths. A folder you rename or move inside DockDuck keeps its view. You can turn this off in Settings, General.
    • A new Network page. Your computers are on the left and the shared folders of the one you pick are on the right, as tiles or as a list. Each share shows once, with its free space, and you can open it, eject it, edit it or forget it from there. Eject All disconnects a whole computer at once, and Connect As signs in with another name.
    • Themes. Settings, Appearance has 29 color themes for the whole window, light and dark, and folders take the color of the theme. The built-in terminal follows the theme as well.
    • Copies you can trust. DockDuck can read every copy back and compare it with the original. By default it does so for external drives and network shares; Settings lets you choose always or never.
    • Merge folders. When you copy or move a folder onto one with the same name, you can now merge them instead of replacing one with the other.
    • Bring your servers with you. Import Servers reads the sites saved in FileZilla and the hosts in your SSH config, so you do not type them again.
    • More ways to sign in to a server. Use the keys loaded in your SSH agent, or a key file with a passphrase. RSA and ECDSA keys work, also on servers that refuse the older RSA signatures. Secure FTP works on servers that ask for it on the regular port, too.
    • Edit a file that lives on a server. Open it, change it, save, and DockDuck sends it back. If the file changed on the server in the meantime, DockDuck tells you, and if you quit while it is still going up, DockDuck finishes first.
    • Change permissions on a server. Get Info on a file or folder of a server lets you change who can read and write it.
    • Server transfers pick up where they stopped. A transfer that fails can be retried from the transfer panel and continues from the bytes already sent. Cancel stops the file in flight and leaves no half file behind.
    • A speed limit for server transfers, in Settings, Servers, so the rest of your connection stays free. The server sheet also has a Test button that signs in and tells you whether the connection works.
    • More control over the icon view. Settings, Appearance has a slider for the icon size, and lets you set the spacing, the text size, where the name goes and whether the item count shows under folders.
    • A compact folder header. One line for the folder name, the filters and the sorting, which leaves more room for your files. It is in Settings, Appearance.
    • Indonesian, Polish, Norwegian and Finnish. DockDuck now speaks 19 languages.
    • Halloween icons. Through November 2 the Dock icon dresses up, with three to choose from. You can go back to the usual duck in Settings, Appearance.

    Changed

    • The shortcut that opens a new window from any app is now Control+Option+Command+E. It used to be Option+E, which on many keyboards types a letter or an accent, so DockDuck took that key away from every other app. Both shortcuts that work from any app are now listed in Settings, Keyboard, under From Any App, where you can change or remove them.
    • Claude can do much more in DockDuck. It can now read folders, rename and duplicate files, move them to the Trash, compress and extract, create folders and files, work with your saved servers and cloud folders, make a share link, set up and run folder rules, and create workspaces. A notice tells you what Claude did, with an Undo button. On your Mac nothing is deleted for good; to delete on a server, DockDuck asks you first.
    • Turning Claude on is one step. Switch it on in Settings, Dev Tools and DockDuck adds itself to Claude and offers to restart it. DockDuck asks you before it lets a program in, and names the program that is asking.
    • Moving between your Mac and a server really moves. Cut and paste, and Move to Other Pane, used to leave the originals behind. Now they are removed once the copy has arrived.
    • Deleting on a server asks first, because a server has no Trash. Removing a saved server asks too, and says that its saved password goes with it.
    • Downloading onto a name that already exists asks what to do: keep both, replace or skip. A new folder or file on a server no longer overwrites one with the same name.
    • Servers stay connected. DockDuck keeps the connection alive and opens it again on its own if the server dropped it.
    • The server sheet understands a pasted address. Paste ftp://user:password@host:port/path and each part goes to its field. Typing sftp:// switches the protocol.
    • Settings, Servers says when you last connected to each server, and its switches for storing passwords and reconnecting at launch now do what they say.
    • Folders open faster. Ordinary folders on your Mac list sooner, a folder with thousands of files on a NAS now lists in about a second, and Desktop and Documents kept in iCloud no longer take a moment to appear.
    • A long path keeps whole names. The path bar now drops folders from the left and shows "…" instead of cutting names in half.
    • Type a place by its name in the path bar. "Network", "Recents" or "Tags/Red" take you there.
    • A workspace opens in a window of its own, and closing that window saves it. A workspace also remembers whether the preview panel was showing.
    • Notices at the top of the window have a new look, and the first launch explains why DockDuck asks for access to your folders.
    • The top of the window is slimmer with a single tab. The tab and the path no longer repeat each other.
    • The preview panel starts hidden on a new install, with a Preview button in the toolbar to show it. If you already use DockDuck, nothing changes.
    • Sort by Best Match. Search results can be sorted by how well they match, from the sort menu.
    • Esc clears the whole search: the text, the filters and the results.
    • The column view shows which column is active, and no longer flashes an empty band when you open a folder.
    • Settings has a cleaner look, with the same rounded buttons and pickers as the rest of the app.
    • Server errors say what went wrong in plain words, instead of a code.
    • Counts read correctly in every language. "1 item" and "5 items" now follow each language's own rules, and screens with long words no longer cut their labels.
    • VoiceOver reads the toolbar and the tabs by name.

    Fixed

    • DockDuck felt slow on some Macs running macOS 15. The path bar was doing far too much work on every change.
    • The arrow keys did nothing while Quick Look was open. They now move to the next file and the preview follows, as in Finder.
    • Secure FTP servers that require one session for everything could not list or transfer. They now work without any setting.
    • A file edited on a server could lose its upload if you quit DockDuck, or saved it again, while it was still going up.
    • File names with accents on older FTP servers showed as garbled text, and a link to a folder did not open as a folder.
    • The server side could open as icons or columns instead of a list when you connected from a folder with a view of its own.
    • Editing a saved server showed its password in the field.
    • Settings, Servers called SFTP servers "Mounted" and never said whether an FTP server was connected.
    • A server address in IPv6 lost its brackets, and one typed without them was not accepted.
    • Switching between workspaces with one pane and with two did not change the layout or bring back their folders.
    • A workspace with a server pane did not reconnect on its own.
    • With two panes, a click in the sidebar changed the left pane even when the right one was selected.
    • The first row hid behind the list header in a folder last seen as icons.
    • A folder sometimes did not refresh when a subfolder was added while it was on screen, and a long copy now shows its files as they arrive.
    • The preview panel did not come back after turning it off and on in Settings.
    • The Shared page stayed empty after signing in until you left it and came back.
    • The Full Disk Access notice was cut off behind the sidebar.
    • The eject button was hard to see on the selected row of the sidebar.
  2. 1.1.7

    Added

    • Send a file as a link. Select a file, choose Share Link, and DockDuck gives you a link to send to anyone. They open it in any browser, with no app and no account. The file is encrypted on your Mac before it leaves, so nobody else can read it, not even us. A link holds up to 2 GB, and several files or a folder travel as one zip. Sending links comes with a license and is not part of the free trial.
    • You decide how each link behaves. It can last 24 hours or 7 days, ask for a password, show your name to whoever opens it, and allow the download or only a preview. Settings has a Share page with the defaults for new links and how much of this month's allowance you have used.
    • A Shared page for the links you sent. It sits in the sidebar and lists every link with its expiry and how many times it was downloaded. Copy a link again, show its QR code, open its page, or revoke it, and it stops working at once. You can also revoke all of them together.
    • Free Up Space. Open it from the Trash to see what is using your disk. A bar shows where the space goes, and DockDuck suggests what is safe to remove: downloads you have not opened in a year, installers for apps you already have, zip copies of folders you still keep, large files you have not touched in six months, and caches that developer tools rebuild on their own. You review each suggestion before anything moves, and everything goes to the Trash first, so you can put it back.
    • A map of your disk. See every folder by size as blocks or as rings, click into the big ones, and collect what you want to remove in a tray to send it to the Trash together.
    • A warning before your Mac fills up. When a disk is almost full, DockDuck tells you and takes you straight to Free Up Space.
    • Import only the new photos from your iPhone or iPad. Import New compares the device with the folder you pick and copies only the photos that folder does not have yet. It checks each copy, picks up where it stopped if the cable comes loose, and remembers the folder for each device. When it finishes, it offers to delete the imported photos from the device to free space there; they stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
    • Servers open next to your Mac. Connect to an FTP or SFTP server and the window shows your Mac on the left and the server on the right, so you can drag files across. The server side lists each file's permissions, owner and group. Pick any other place in the sidebar and the window goes back to normal.
    • See what a server is doing. While DockDuck connects or opens a folder, a small note at the bottom of the window says so. Click it to read the whole history, select part of it, or copy all of it.
    • Edit or rename a saved server from the sidebar. Right-click it and choose Edit or Rename. You can also disconnect or remove it from the same menu.
    • Recents shows folders too. The folders you opened and the ones you just created appear together with your recent files, newest first. The Folders filter at the top shows only folders.
    • Sort by one thing, then by another. For example by kind, then by date. The sort menu also has Keep Folders on Top, whatever the sort is.
    • More ways to close tabs. Right-click a tab for Close Other Tabs, Close Tabs to the Right and Close All Tabs.
    • Show Package Contents. Right-click an app or any other bundle to look inside it.
    • Let Claude work in DockDuck. If you use the Claude app, turn this on in Settings, Dev Tools. Claude can then open a folder, read what you have selected, and move, copy or tag files when you ask it to. DockDuck asks for your permission first, and everything it changes can be undone. It is off until you turn it on.
    • Acknowledgements. Settings, About lists the open-source components DockDuck uses, with their licenses.

    Changed

    • Renaming keeps the extension out of the way. When you rename a file, only its name is selected, so typing replaces the name and leaves .pdf alone. A double-click inside the name works the same way. Folders still select their whole name.
    • Double-clicking an app opens it. Apps and other bundles used to open as folders. They now open like any file, and Show Package Contents is there when you do want to look inside.
    • The top of the window is slimmer. Tabs now share the title row instead of taking a row of their own, which leaves more room for your files.
    • Lighter sidebar icons. They sit closer to the ones macOS uses, and your home folder is now a house.
    • The Dock icon follows your Mac's icon style. If you chose tinted or clear icons in macOS, the duck follows along like every other app.
    • Sorting by size counts what is inside folders, when folder sizes are turned on, instead of treating every folder as empty.
    • FTP is faster. Connecting and opening folders takes noticeably less time, above all on folders with many files.
    • Older SFTP servers connect. Servers that only offer older encryption now work. When a server cannot be reached, the message says why in plain words.
    • The free trial says what it includes. Starting the trial now shows the Terms and Privacy Policy you are agreeing to, and Account calls it a Free Trial.

    Fixed

    • Renaming a second file did not take the cursor. You had to click inside the box, and the arrow keys moved through the file list instead of the text. The box now has the cursor every time.
    • The sidebar forgot its width. It is now remembered between launches, and the resize cursor appears from either side of the divider.
    • A crash while moving through a synced folder is fixed.
    • Folders on external and network drives refresh on their own. A new or deleted item now shows up without reloading. A folder that was deleted and created again is followed too, and a change that arrives while you are renaming something is no longer lost.
    • A workspace with a server opens connected. Several panes on the same server no longer compete for the connection and leave some of them empty.
    • Items in a cloud folder appeared twice in Tags, Recents and search.
    • The right-click menu looked dark and grainy in light mode on macOS 26, and its text could look blurry.
    • The color dot for file changes hid behind the icon in list and grid.
    • macOS added a second tab bar above DockDuck's own.
    • Buttons for a device's photos stayed behind on the selection bar after you left the device for an ordinary folder.
    • A server's port showed a comma, like 2,121.
    • A server that refuses a file now says so right away instead of trying again several times.
  3. 1.1.6

    Added

    • Your iPhone and iPad open right in DockDuck. Plug one in and it appears in the sidebar with its name, model and how much space is left, plus the battery level while it charges. Open it to browse the camera roll with real thumbnails, look at a photo or video full size, and copy what you want to your Mac by dragging it out or with Copy to Downloads. If the device is locked, the page says so and fills in by itself the moment you unlock it. Photos on the device are read only, except deleting, which works whenever iOS allows it; with iCloud Photos turned on the device refuses, and DockDuck tells you instead of failing quietly.
    • Folder rules can do far more. New conditions: when a file was created or last opened, anything newer than a date, where it was downloaded from, its Finder comment, its tag color, and what the file says inside. New actions: compress, uncompress, hide the extension, lock, open with an app, make an alias, copy to another folder, add a tag, and import to Photos or Music. Renaming now takes date and counter tokens, so a rule can file IMG_1234 as 2026-09-25 Holiday 01.
    • The rule editor reads as a sentence and shows its work. While you build a rule it tells you how many files in the folder it would take today, with a link to see exactly which ones. When nothing matches, it names the single condition that is blocking everything and offers to remove it.
    • Rules can cover a folder's subfolders, or a single subfolder, instead of only the folder itself. A rule can also hand what it matched to the next rule, so several rules work on one file in order.
    • A rule can be paused while you decide about it, and it keeps its place in the list. Rules also run when you open the app, not only when a folder changes, and each one keeps a history of its passes, where the last pass can still be undone as long as you have not moved things by hand since.
    • A rule can tell you when it has finished. Turn it on and a notification names the folder and what the rule did.
    • A rule that suddenly matches far more files than usual stops and asks, even one you set to run without asking, and offers to pause it right there.
    • A rule whose folder or destination has moved waits instead of running, says so in the list, and gives you a button to point it at the new place.
    • Rules move between folders and Macs. Export them to a .ddrules file and open it anywhere to add them back, copy a rule to another folder, duplicate one, and start from a sample rule instead of a blank one. You can pause or resume every rule of a folder at once, and the search box looks across all your folders, not only this one.
    • New File. Create an empty file in the current folder and name it on the spot, from the toolbar, the folder's menu, or a shortcut you assign.
    • The folder's own actions sit behind a gear next to the sort pill, so Organize This Folder, the terminal panel and Open in Terminal are one click away even when the folder is too full to find a blank spot to right-click.
    • The Trash has its own actions. Select something there and the floating pill offers Put Back and Delete Immediately; the folder header carries a red Empty Trash button, and holding Option empties it without asking.
    • Activate a license without an account. Settings ▸ Account now has a field for the license key, so a purchase can be unlocked on this Mac without signing in first.
    • When your license is already on as many Macs as it allows, DockDuck lists those Macs with when each was added and last used and lets you free one on the spot, then activates this Mac straight away. Before, a paying customer hit the trial paywall instead.
    • If DockDuck cannot reach us to check your license, it says so in a strip at the top with a Check now button, and keeps working for a week. Only then does it ask for a connection, on a screen that never mentions buying anything.
    • The pane layout lives in Settings too, next to the saved workspaces, so it is something you can find on purpose instead of by accident.
    • Gallery's details pane can be closed when the big preview is all you want.
    • Properties ▸ Sharing colors the unusual permissions, so a file everyone can write stands out from a normal one at a glance.

    Changed

    • One toolbar and one status bar for the whole window. With several panes open there used to be a bar on each one. Now a single bar at the top follows whichever pane you are working in, and a single line at the bottom shows that pane's item count and free space.
    • Narrow panes get the full bar. The stripped down bars that split and narrow panes fell back to are gone, so the search field, the view switcher and the path are there at every width instead of hiding in a More menu.
    • New Folder, New File, Share and Organize live on the window's toolbar. They used to sit on the header above each file list. Organize carries a small badge with how many rules the folder has. A toolbar you had already customized gains the new buttons once instead of losing yours.
    • Several panes feel lighter. Resizing the window with four or six panes open no longer drags: the file lists refit once you let go instead of on every frame, and the pane chrome got cheaper to draw. Dragging the crossing where three or four panes meet resizes all of them at once, the pointer turns into a crosshair over it, and a divider dragged in one row moves in every row so the grid stays lined up.
    • Deleting shows its work. Moving files to the Trash, and deleting for good, now report at the bottom of the window like a copy does, count the items as they go, say how much space was freed and can be cancelled part way. Delete Immediately from the menu asks first, in the same place, listing the files and their sizes. The Trash is named "Trash" there instead of showing the numbered folder it really is.
    • After a rules pass the notice names what each rule did, such as "9 moved to Images, 5 renamed", instead of one lump count, and Undo is offered only when the pass is something that can be put back.
    • A rule that covers subfolders never looks inside the folders it files things into, so it cannot chase what it just tidied, and it stops six levels down.
    • Thumbnails fill in for the pane you are working in first when several panes are open, instead of every pane competing at once.
    • The sidebar gets narrower than it used to, down to what a row actually needs, and its rows match the spacing of the macOS you are running.
    • Actions that make no sense in a place are no longer offered there. New File, New Folder, Paste, Organize and Open in Terminal are off in the Trash, Recents, Network, the Start Page, a tag's results and pinned items, and those lists offer Refresh and Search instead.
    • Organize and its rules are one sheet with pages, with the folder's name and the two tabs in a compact header and a back button to step out of a rule.
    • Dragging a tab sideways moves the window, the way dragging the title bar does.
    • Typing the first letters of a name nudges the view just enough to bring the file into sight instead of recentring the whole grid.
    • A transfer can be cancelled from the small capsule, without expanding it, and Settings offers Reset Toolbar whenever your toolbar differs from the default rather than only when it is empty.
    • Every language is current again. The 14 translations now cover everything added this year, including all of folder rules and the device page.

    Fixed

    • DockDuck no longer crashes when you open an empty folder on macOS 15, or when you drag a file out of a mounted iPhone.
    • Moving a file onto one of the same name no longer does nothing. It asks Replace, Keep Both or Skip, the way copying always did; before, the file was quietly left behind. The question now shows the folder's path too, so two folders both called Downloads can be told apart.
    • A rule that files things onto another disk really moves them instead of copying them and leaving the originals behind.
    • Emptying the Trash used to freeze the window and ask its questions in system alerts, and the window locked up while a lot of files were being deleted because the list re-read the folder after every single one.
    • Files dragged in from a phone or a virtual machine are reported at the bottom of the window. When they landed on the same disk the copy was instant and nothing was said, so the drop looked like it had failed.
    • The activity strip no longer opens empty after a drop that had nothing to copy.
    • Opening a folder sometimes landed scrolled past its first row, and going in and out of a folder could hide the top entry.
    • A rules pass could leave the files behind and then offer the same pass again.
    • Columns view played videos on its own even with autoplay turned off, and its preview pane was stuck at its narrowest.
    • The Account pane said "Free trial" while the badge and the bar said Pro Annual, and signing in again on the same Mac took a second seat.
    • The app icon you chose went back to the default while DockDuck was closed, and the Dock progress bar left the stock icon behind when a copy finished.
    • A window that was in full screen when you quit opens full screen again, instead of sitting small on a black background.
    • Saved searches and plain files are no longer pulled into your favorites when DockDuck reads Finder's sidebar, and any that an earlier version added are removed.
    • An empty folder answers the same keys as a full one: the left arrow goes up a level and Escape cancels a pending cut, not only Backspace to go back.
    • A file revealed from search or from another folder has the keyboard right away, so the arrow keys carry on from it.
    • Show Terminal Panel did nothing with a single pane open.
    • Items in the Trash no longer show iCloud badges, and free space is shown at the bottom of narrow windows too, where it used to be dropped.
    • The search overlay is easier to read, the island's notices no longer paint a garish green disc, and the seat count in them is right.
    • The sidebar no longer invents a color for a folder from the first letter of its name.
    • The preview panel stayed on a video after you filtered the list down to images, because the hidden item was still selected.
  4. 1.1.5

    Added

    • Seven more days for a verified email. Partway through the trial, DockDuck offers 7 extra days in exchange for your email address. One field, no password: the link in the email creates your account and signs this Mac in, and the new end date shows up on its own. The offer appears on the Start Page and as a strip in the browser from the seventh day, or sooner once you have used a big feature like split view a couple of times, and it never shows on your first launch. Dismiss it and it comes back once, on day 12; after that you can still find it in the trial reminder and on the unlock screen.
    • Organize This Folder now has two sides: Now and Always. Now sorts what is there into folders, as before. Always holds the folder's rules, such as "images older than 30 days go to Archive", which DockDuck applies on its own when the folder changes or when you open it, always with a preview first and a single undo. "Keep it this way" turns a sort you just did into rules. Rules never run on cloud or server folders, and Settings ▸ Behavior lists them all.
    • When a folder has files nobody has touched in months, DockDuck offers to set up a rule for it from the island at the bottom of the window. After a pass runs, the island tells you what moved, with Undo right there.
    • While files copy, the DockDuck icon in the Dock shows a progress bar, like Finder does.
    • Transfers now live in a small island at the bottom of the window instead of a separate floating window. Tap it to see every transfer in progress, what finished, and retry anything that failed. When a file already exists, the island asks Skip, Keep Both or Replace right there, with an option to apply the answer to the rest.
    • Cloud services you install show up on their own. Sync, Dropbox and other cloud apps that register with Finder now appear in DockDuck's Cloud section next to iCloud Drive, no setup needed. Settings ▸ Clouds lists every supported service: the ones installed can be switched on or off, the rest wait until you install them.
    • Finder's favorites show up in DockDuck. The folders in Finder's sidebar are added to DockDuck's Favorites the first time you open the app, and a folder you add to Finder later appears here too. From then on the list is yours: remove one here and it stays removed, however you rearrange Finder's.
    • Four panes in a square. Four panes used to be a single row, which left each one narrow on a laptop. Now there is a 2 by 2 arrangement, and it is what four panes open as.

    Changed

    • Going back returns you to where you were. Open a folder from the middle of a long list, come back, and the list is still scrolled where you left it, with the folder you came from selected and ready for the arrow keys. It used to jump to the top.
    • List rows are tighter and the text is a little larger, matching the density of a Finder list, so more files fit without reading smaller.
    • Drop files onto a favorite to file them there. Dropping on a favorite folder puts the files inside it; dropping between two favorites, where the insertion line appears, pins what you dropped in that spot.
    • Rows that have nowhere to put a file no longer accept one. Network, Recents, the Trash and the Applications folder stop lighting up when you drag files over them.
    • The quick actions appear when you click. Selecting with the keyboard no longer pops the row of actions over your files.

    Fixed

    • Folder sizes, when you ask for them. Turn on "Calculate folder sizes" in Settings ▸ General, or from the list header menu, and folders show their real size, computed in the background and kept up to date. It stays off by default so browsing is instant, and switching it on updates the windows you already have open.
    • A "Large files" button. It appears only in folders that actually hold something over 100 MB, and lists those files, subfolders included, biggest first, so you can see what is taking up space. The check runs after the folder is already on screen, so it never slows down opening one.
    • Drag a folder onto Favorites to keep it there. Drop folders or files anywhere on the sidebar's Favorites section and they are added, the way Finder makes a shortcut. The whole section is the target, heading and rows alike, and it lights up while you drag. No other part of the sidebar takes a drop this way.
    • DockDuck now uses your accent color. Selections, buttons and badges follow the accent you chose in System Settings, like Finder, instead of a fixed blue of their own.
    • The sidebar follows your Sidebar icon size. DockDuck now uses the size you pick in System Settings ▸ Appearance, like Finder: medium matches Finder's density, small and large scale from it, and a change applies right away.
    • Cloud badges show downloads other apps start. When Finder, the cloud app or any other program downloads a cloud-only file, its badge fills like a progress ring, just as when you click it in DockDuck. Works for iCloud Drive and for Sync, Dropbox, Drive, Box and OneDrive.
    • Arrow keys navigate the list view. With a folder selected, the right arrow opens it and the left arrow goes up a level with that folder selected again, the way the column view works. Enclosing Folder (⌘↑) lands on the folder you came from too.
    • No more freezing on cloud-only files. Right-clicking, previewing or downloading a file that lives only in the cloud (Sync, Box, Google Drive, iCloud Drive) could freeze DockDuck until the whole download finished. DockDuck now recognizes cloud-only files the same way macOS does, for every cloud service, shows their type icon, and can no longer be stalled by one: downloads always run in the background.
    • The Dock icon is the same size as everyone else's on macOS 15. The icon used on macOS 15 had no margin around it, so it looked bigger than Finder or Safari next to it. It now follows Apple's icon grid.
    • Submenus line up with their row. Hovering a menu item like "Compress to" from below opened its submenu one row too low; it now sits next to the item every time.
    • Deleting inside Sync and similar cloud folders works. Some cloud folders have no Trash, so moving a file there failed with an error. DockDuck now offers to delete the file immediately instead, the same way Finder does.
    • Spring-loaded folders respect your Accessibility setting. If you turn off spring-loading in System Settings, dragging over a folder in DockDuck no longer opens it, and the delay slider now applies too.
    • Get Info opens where you can see it on macOS 15. Pressing ⌘I could open an invisible Properties window that quietly took the focus away from your files. It now always opens on screen, and it remembers where you left it between launches.
  5. 1.1.4.1

    Fixed

    • Hotfix for macOS 27: the Full Disk Access reminder now goes away once you grant it. The banner stayed up after granting the permission, and the Trash kept asking for it. Both now recognize the permission right away.
  6. 1.1.4

    Added

    • Network. A new Network section finds the Macs, NAS drives and PCs sharing files on your local network. Click one to see its shared folders and open them, signing in only when the computer asks for it.
    • Move files between panes faster. In split view, copy or move the selection to the other side, or jump between sides, with a shortcut you choose in Settings, Keyboard. You can also use the function keys for common actions and decide whether Return opens files or renames them.
    • Start with a workspace. Pick a workspace in Settings, Workspaces and every launch opens with that exact setup instead of the last session.
    • Terminal that follows along. Link a Terminal or iTerm2 window, or open a terminal right under the files, and it stays in the same folder as you browse. Turn it on in Settings, Dev Tools.
    • New Folder with Selection in one click. Select a few items and put them in a new folder straight from the selection bar or the right click menu.

    Changed

    • Glass menus. Right click menus, submenus and the path bar menu use the same Liquid Glass look as the rest of macOS.
    • The focused pane is easy to spot. In split view the active side gets a soft outline, and clicking any row in a pane makes it the focused one.
    • Shortcuts never collide. Giving a command a shortcut that another command already uses moves it over and tells you which command gave it up, so no key ends up doing two things.
    • Split view comes back. Quitting with a split open restores the split and its orientation next time.
    • One click on the menu bar icon opens DockDuck. Right click still shows the menu.
    • Folders that take a moment show it. Opening a slow folder, such as one on another computer, shows a small spinner next to its name.

    Fixed

    • Keyboard shortcuts follow the pane you are in. In split view, shortcuts used to act on the left pane even when the right one had focus.
    • Delete and new items on SFTP. Deleting, and creating folders or files from the menu, now work on SFTP servers instead of failing.
    • Clicking the Dock icon brings every DockDuck window forward.
    • New items scroll into view. A new folder or file created below the fold scrolls into sight for renaming, and pressing Escape right away removes it.
    • Toggle Sidebar keeps its shortcut. Option Command S no longer stops working after you move between folders.
    • Emptying the Trash reports what it could not delete instead of doing nothing, and the App Management prompt no longer loops after you grant it.
    • Devices in Settings, Account load again.
    • Shared folders open once. Opening a saved server no longer mounts the same share twice, and passwords with symbols like @ or # work.
    • Every language is caught up. All fifteen languages have translations for everything new, and the Settings sidebar is translated too.
  7. 1.1.3

    Added

    • One Connect to Server sheet. Adding or opening a server is now a single clean sheet: pick the protocol (SMB, SFTP, FTP, WebDAV) as a tile, paste a whole address to fill the fields for you, and see the connecting, error and trust states right there. You can also save a server without connecting.
    • Customize the quick actions and the toolbar in one place. A new Customizations tab in Settings lets you choose which actions ride on the floating selection bar and which sit in the toolbar, and drag them into the order you want. A live mark shows where a dragged action will land.
    • Group by Kind. Break a folder into labeled groups such as Folders, Images, Documents and Videos, each with a header and a count, the way Finder does. Collapse a group, or turn counts off, from the sort menu.
    • Camera and video details in the preview. Photos show the camera, lens, ISO, aperture, shutter and capture date. Videos show resolution, codec, frame rate and duration, and play right in the preview and gallery.
    • A better split view. Each side decides for itself whether it is wide enough to show its preview, and you can now split top and bottom as well as side by side. A knob in the middle of the divider rotates the split when you click it and resizes when you drag it.
    • Cloud status at a glance. Files in iCloud and other providers show a badge for synced, uploading, only in the cloud, or downloading, and you can start or stop a download right from the badge.
    • Rename in more places. Renaming now works inline in the column and gallery views, not just the grid and list.

    Changed

    • A cleaner toolbar, tab bar and path bar. The top of the window got a Liquid Glass pass so the controls read more clearly and match the system look.
    • Return and Quick Look are real shortcuts. Return to rename and Space for Quick Look show up under Settings, Keyboard and can be rebound like any other shortcut, in every view.
    • Remove a favorite without the menu. Hover a favorite in the sidebar and a small remove button appears, matching the servers list, so a right-click is no longer required.
    • Every language is caught up. All fifteen languages have translations for the new features.

    Fixed

    • Locked files no longer fail in silence. Moving, pasting or dragging a locked file, or sending one to the Trash, now offers to unlock and continue, the way Finder does, instead of quietly doing nothing.
    • Thumbnails refresh after you edit a file. Rotating a photo, or any in-place edit, updates its thumbnail and preview right away instead of keeping the old image until you reload.
    • SFTP opens in the right place. Servers that drop you in a home folder now land there automatically instead of failing to open the root, so you no longer type the path by hand. Creating folders over SFTP works too.
    • Keyboard focus survives a cancelled rename. Pressing Escape to stop renaming no longer left every key beeping until you clicked back in.
    • Moving an app to the Trash explains itself. When macOS needs App Management permission to trash an app, DockDuck now says so and points you to the setting instead of failing silently.
  8. 1.1.2.1

    Fixed

    • Windows always show up, at the size you left them. In 1.1.2, closing the last window and clicking the Dock icon, or opening a new window, could produce an invisible window. Windows open visibly again, and the size you set is the size they come back with, including after quitting and reopening.
    • "Open folders in DockDuck" tells the truth. macOS 26.6 no longer lets any app make itself the folder handler, not even Finder can be set that way. Instead of switching itself off silently, the setting now explains this on systems where Apple blocks it.
  9. 1.1.2

    Added

    • Compact layout. Narrow the window and the sidebar folds into an icon rail; hover it to peek at the full sidebar, or pin it open with the chevron button. The inspector floats over the content instead of squeezing it. Turn on Compact layout in Settings, General to use this space-saving layout in any window size.
    • Quick actions on the selection. Select files in the grid or the list and a small floating bar offers Copy, Duplicate, Add to Shelf, Move to Trash, Share and the full menu. It follows your selection and never gets in the way of scrolling. Turn it off in Settings, General if you prefer.
    • Gallery view. A fourth view mode with a large preview and a filmstrip of the folder, with the same quick actions and full image details.
    • Favorites you can manage. Right-click a favorite to open it in a new tab or remove it, and drag favorites to reorder them. Aliases you add now open inside DockDuck instead of bouncing to Finder.
    • Reorder the sidebar. Drag a section header to move it; a live insertion line shows where it lands.
    • Workspaces remember more. A workspace now saves your favorites, the order of the sidebar sections, the toolbar layout and its own servers. A server added while a workspace is active lives only in that workspace.
    • Servers come back after a restart. SFTP and FTP tabs, and tabs on drives that are not mounted yet, are kept when you restore a session or a workspace. They come back disconnected and reconnect the moment you open them; a Connect button handles a server that is offline.
    • SSH keys for SFTP. Connect to SFTP servers with an ed25519 or RSA key instead of a password.
    • Shelf in compact windows. In a narrow window the Shelf folds into one row: a peek at the items, their total size, and Clear and Move here, with the full tray one click away.
    • Batch rename stops at the first problem. If a rename fails midway, DockDuck shows which file and why, and lets you revert the batch or keep what was done.
    • Korean. DockDuck now speaks Korean, its fifteenth language.

    Fixed

    • Connect to Server takes what Finder takes. Pasting a whole address into the Server field, like smb://nas.local/share, a Windows \\NAS\share path or host:port, now connects instead of failing with "not a valid address". The host, port and share are split into the right fields for you.
    • The sidebar tree remembers what you collapsed. Folding your home folder (or expanding a subfolder) in the sidebar now sticks across launches instead of snapping back to the default every time DockDuck opens.
    • No more loading bar on instant folders. The thin progress line in the address bar flashed on every navigation, even when the folder listed in a few milliseconds. It now only appears for loads that actually take time, like a slow network share.
    • Lifetime says what it means. The plan row in Settings → Account and the paywall card no longer claim "1 year of updates"; a Lifetime license includes all future updates, and the annual price reads $24.99.
    • Rare crash while resizing or opening a window. A layout loop that could quit the app on launch, when resizing, or when restoring a session on macOS 26 is gone.
    • Smoother scrolling in big folders. The icon cache did more work with every file on screen; it is now constant, and thumbnails no longer flicker when you select an item.
    • Two tags at once. Adding a second tag to a file no longer replaces the first one.
    • Start Page in short windows. The Start Page scrolls instead of getting cut off, and resizing a window on it no longer lags.
    • Trial reminder only when it matters. The countdown banner shows during the last 7 days of the trial instead of the whole time.
  10. 1.1.1

    Added

    • Start using DockDuck without an account. Your 14-day trial now begins the moment you click Start Free Trial in the welcome flow. No sign-up, no email, no credit card. The trial is tied to your Mac, so reinstalling or clearing preferences won't reset it, and signing out never locks you out. An account is only needed to buy a license or restore a purchase.
    • Finder keyboard shortcuts you already know. Space for Quick Look, Return to rename, ⌘I for Get Info, ⌘D to duplicate, ⌘⌫ to move to Trash, ⇧⌘N for a new folder, ⌃⌘N to make a folder from the selection, ⌘O to open, ⌘E to eject, ⇧⌘. to toggle hidden files, ⇧⌘G to go to a folder, ⌘K to connect to a server, and the full Go menu (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Applications, Utilities, iCloud Drive, Recents). View modes are now ⌘1 / ⌘2 / ⌘3, matching Finder. Every shortcut stays remappable in Settings.
    • Drag the Finder way. Hold ⌥ while dragging to copy instead of move, ⌘ to force a move. Hover a drag over a folder, a sidebar item, or a tab and it springs open so you can drop deeper inside. Drop files onto any tab to send them to that tab's folder.

    Fixed

    • Get Info no longer crashes on macOS 26. The properties panel could quit the app while sizing itself; it now opens reliably.
    • Reopening from the Dock restores your session. After closing the last window with the red button, clicking the Dock icon now brings back your saved tabs instead of a blank window.
  11. 1.1.0

    Added

    • Workspaces. Save a window (its tabs, layout, and view settings) as a named workspace with its own color and symbol, and bring it all back in one click. Capture the window as-is or build one step by step; switch from the new chip in the title bar, edit or manage them in a dedicated panel, and turn on auto-sync to keep a workspace matching the window as you work. Each workspace can open in its own window, so "Client hand-off" and "Personal" never mix.
    • One license, three Macs. Your DockDuck license now covers up to 3 Macs at the same time. A new Devices section in Settings → Account shows which Macs are signed in and lets you free a seat you're no longer using.
    • Update notices, in the app. When a background check finds a new version, a small card appears in the window. See what's new and install when you're ready, or dismiss it for that version.
    • Alternate Dock icons. Pro users can pick between the classic tile and two new duck icons in Settings → Appearance; the Dock, menu bar, and About screen all follow along.
    • Pinned tabs read as chips. A pinned tab shrinks to a compact chip with a pin badge, so it stays put and your working tabs get the room.
    • Free space at a glance. Drive rows in the sidebar now show how much space is left on each volume.
    • Locked files ask, not fail. Trashing a locked file now prompts: unlock and continue, or cancel, instead of silently doing nothing.

    Fixed

    • Tab bar stays put on resize. Growing and then shrinking the window (or entering a workspace) could break the tab strip's layout; it now holds its measurements no matter how the window moves.
    • Fresh thumbnails for fresh files. A file that finishes writing at a path that already showed a generic icon (like a Quick Actions conversion) now gets its real preview instead of keeping the placeholder.
    • Batch rename catches case-only collisions. Renames that differ only in capitalization are detected as conflicts up front, matching how the file system actually behaves.
  12. 1.0.6

    Added

    • Your clouds, unified. iCloud Drive gets a first-class sidebar section with the same unified view Finder shows, and Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box appear automatically when their app is installed, each with its own branded icon. Download-status badges show what's local at a glance: click the cloud to pull a file down (with a progress ring) or use "Remove Download" to free the space, right from the context menu.
    • Quick Actions. A native, no-dependencies submenu on images and PDFs: convert an image to PNG, JPEG, HEIC, or TIFF; resize it to a preset width; or combine several selected PDFs into one. Each runs in the background and drops the result next to the original, undoable with ⌘Z.
    • Organize into Folders. Sort a messy folder (or a selection) into subfolders by kind, file type, date, or first letter, with a live preview of the plan before you commit. One ⌘Z puts everything back.
    • Your tabs come back. With "Restore session" on (Settings → General), the tabs you had open reopen at their folders on the next launch, with the active one selected.
    • Address-bar commands. Type claude, terminal, git, finder, code, or cursor in the address bar to act on the current folder. The text turns into a command chip and Enter runs it. Choose which terminal opens in Settings → General.

    Changed

    • Faster, more reliable launch. The window now paints immediately instead of waiting on a Keychain read, so the app never hangs on a blank window at startup.
  13. 1.0.5

    Added

    • Address-bar commands. Type a keyword in the address bar (claude, terminal, git, finder, code, or cursor) and it turns into a Command chip; press Enter to run it in the folder you're viewing. Open a terminal already sitting in the right directory, reveal the folder in Finder, or jump straight into your editor, without leaving the keyboard.
    • Pick your terminal. Address-bar commands open Terminal by default; choose iTerm2, Warp, or Ghostty instead in Settings → General. Only apps you actually have installed are offered.
    • Tips that teach the address bar. A small hint bubble occasionally appears under the address bar introducing these commands. Close one with ✕, turn them off forever with "Don't show again" (or in Settings → General), and they never interrupt what you're typing. Available in all 14 languages.

    Fixed

    • The new-tab button stays next to your tabs. With six or more tabs on a roomy window, the + button jumped to the far edge and scroll arrows appeared even though everything fit. The tab bar now measures the real available width, so arrows only show when tabs genuinely overflow.
    • The address bar opens calm. Double-clicking it showed the editor, the full path history, and a tip all at once. History now appears only while you're actually typing (as autocomplete) or via the chevron.
    • Tips are readable in dark mode. The hint bubble used a background that blended into dark windows; it now sits on the system's elevated material in both appearances.
  14. 1.0.4

    Fixed

    • Paste follows the clipboard you used last. If you copied something inside DockDuck and then copied a file in another app (Windows App, Finder), ⌘V kept pasting the older DockDuck copy. It now always pastes whatever you copied most recently, wherever you copied it.
    • Progress belongs to the right file. Bringing several files in from another app credited every byte to the first item in the list, so one row raced to "445 MB of 6.3 MB" while the actual large file sat at zero. Each file now shows its own progress.
    • Duplicating a folder whose name contains a dot. A folder named something like Project.Archive was duplicated as Project copy.Archive. Folders now take the copy suffix after their full name, the way Finder does, while files and packages keep it before the extension.
    • Large folders from Windows App no longer fail silently. When the source app is still preparing the folder, DockDuck now waits and retries instead of giving up with no feedback. If the app still refuses to hand it over, the row turns red with a clear explanation.
  15. 1.0.3

    Added

    • The transfer panel now says "Finishing." When every byte has arrived but the source app (like Windows App) is still wrapping up on its side, the panel shows a clear Finishing phase with "Almost done" instead of sitting frozen at "Copying · 100%" with no speed.

    Fixed

    • Files copied to another disk keep their metadata. Permissions (an executable stays executable), creation and modification dates, Finder tags, and extended attributes now survive every copy. Previously, anything that wasn't a self-contained archive arrived with today's date and default permissions.
    • Folders copied to another disk arrive intact. A folder transferred cross-volume could land with its internal structure scrambled; the tree is now rebuilt exactly as it was.
    • Dragging files in from another disk copies them, like Finder. Dropping a file from a USB stick or another volume into DockDuck used to remove the original from the source; it now stays put.
    • Backspace goes back in the right tab. With several tabs open, Backspace could navigate a background tab, or do nothing at all in columns view. It now always acts on the tab you're looking at, in every view mode.
    • Drops from more apps land reliably. Drags from apps that only offer file promises or the older pasteboard format (Photos, Mail, some VM and Remote Desktop setups) are now recognized by every view.
    • A stalled source app no longer hangs a drop. If an app never delivers a dragged file, DockDuck gives up on that item after a grace period instead of leaving the transfer stuck at "Preparing" forever.

    Changed

    • Every language, fully covered. All 14 UI languages now translate 100% of the app's text, including the transfer panel, the security warning shown when a saved server's identity changes, and the plain-FTP warning.
  16. 1.0.2

    Added

    • Reveal your latest download, from anywhere. Press ⌘⇧J in any app and DockDuck jumps to your Downloads folder with the newest file already selected. It's the DockDuck answer to a browser's "Show in Finder," which macOS otherwise always sends to Finder. (Also shown in Settings → General.)
  17. 1.0.1

    Fixed

    • DockDuck stays your default folder app. If you'd set "Open folders in DockDuck" and macOS quietly handed the setting back to Finder (which can happen after an update or reinstall), DockDuck now reclaims it automatically the next time it launches, so opening a folder keeps landing here.
  18. 1.0.0

    Added

    • Connect to Windows shares by name: type \\SERVER (or //SERVER, or a full \\SERVER\Share\Folder) in the address bar to reach an SMB share using the same shorthand you'd use on Windows.

    Changed

    • Clearer protection against server impersonation: if a saved SFTP or WebDAV server's identity key ever changes, DockDuck now warns you instead of reconnecting silently, and it flags plain-text FTP before you connect.

    Fixed

    • Copying files from Windows App now pastes the current file: a paste from a Remote Desktop session could hand you a file you'd copied days earlier; DockDuck now always uses the one you just copied.
    • Cut and paste within the same folder is safe: pasting a cut item back into its own folder is now a no-op instead of risking the file.
    • Press Esc to cancel a cut: the pending move clears and the file stays where it is.
  19. 0.6.4

    Added

    • Pinned files in the sidebar: pinned files now appear under Favorites alongside pinned folders, each with its real Finder icon; clicking a pinned file opens it directly.

    Changed

    • Pinned items are now marked with a yellow star next to their name instead of the red pin.

    Fixed

    • The Servers section can now be reordered: dragging its header ignored the drop; it also no longer starts stuck at the bottom of the sidebar on fresh installs.
    • Start Page names no longer truncate mid-word ("Doc…ents") when the window is wide; cards now use the real space available instead of being squeezed by empty grid columns.
  20. 0.6.3

    Added

    • Add person in Properties → Sharing: grant another user on your Mac access to a file or folder (Read only / Read & Write) from a searchable user picker, just like Finder's Get Info. Access can be changed or removed from the same row.
    • Apply to enclosed… now asks for confirmation before touching anything, and also applies the people you added to everything inside the folder.
    • Pinned folders in the sidebar: your pinned folders now appear directly under Favorites (up to 7, most recent first), with a See all pinned… row when there are more.
    • Locked items show a padlock next to their name in every view, so a file that refuses to move or delete is identifiable at a glance.

    Changed

    • Properties panel redesign: compact header with the icon beside the name, cleaner tag row, and a timeline whose guide line no longer draws through the event icons.
    • The location path in Properties starts scrolled to the item's name and can be dragged to read long paths.
    • The sidebar scroll bar is now always thin: it stays visible while the pointer is over the sidebar and fades out when it leaves, with no more permanent wide gutter.
    • The folder dropdown in the navigation bar opens straight into the list, without the filter field.

    Fixed

    • Properties on server items (FTP/SFTP) no longer shows your local disk's owner and permissions; it now reports the item's real kind, size, server and path, and can no longer accidentally change local files.
    • The Share popover opens next to where you clicked instead of a window corner.
    • Backspace goes back even in an empty folder or one that failed to load.
    • Smoother window resizing and maximizing while the preview panel is open: the preview no longer re-renders on every frame.
    • The Activity tab's Opens counter now reports real opens instead of always showing 0.
  21. 0.6.2

    Added

    • Paste folders from a remote desktop: copying a folder inside Microsoft Windows App (RDP) or a VM and pasting it into DockDuck now brings the whole folder across intact, with live progress in the transfer panel, which lists the files that actually landed.
    • Pasting files from apps that still use the legacy clipboard format (RDP clients, some VMs) now works. DockDuck used to see an "empty" clipboard and beep.
    • Extraction progress in place: extracting an archive now shows the resulting item immediately as a ghosted row with a progress bar, the same in-progress treatment compressing already had, so big archives no longer look frozen while they unpack.

    Fixed

    • Trash refreshes live: items deleted from an external drive (by any app) now appear in DockDuck's Trash the moment it happens, and the view reacts to drives being connected or ejected.
  22. 0.6.1

    Changed

    • Full localization: the entire interface is now translated across all 14 languages: menus, keyboard-shortcut names, the transfer panel, file info, onboarding, settings, and error messages, not just parts of the app.
    • Keyboard shortcuts shown in menus and tooltips now reflect your actual bindings, so a rebound shortcut always displays the key you chose.

    Fixed

    • Trash now shows everything Finder does, including items deleted from an iCloud Desktop or Documents folder, which previously made DockDuck's Trash look empty. Right-clicking a trashed item offers Put Back and Delete Immediately (no more "Open"), and deleting several selected items at once, including non-empty folders, now works on servers.
    • New Window is back on the standard ⌘N (it had an odd default), and switching to Columns view (⌘⌥3) now works from the View menu.
  23. 0.6.0

    Added

    • Dual-pane browsing: split the window into two panes and drag files straight from one side to the other, the classic two-up file-manager layout.
    • Folder comparison: compare two folders and see at a glance which files are new, missing, or differ between them.
    • Shelf: a drop tray that gathers files from anywhere, then moves or copies them all at once to wherever you drop it.
    • Smart folders: save a search and have it re-run live; your saved searches live in the sidebar.
    • Batch rename: rename many files at once (find-and-replace, sequential numbering, case changes) with a live preview and one-step undo.
    • Archives: compress to .zip, .7z, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, and extract those plus .rar and more, all with built-in macOS tooling, no extra apps.
    • Type-ahead selection and configurable list columns: jump to a file by typing its name; pick which columns the list shows from the header menu.
    • Folder customization: give a folder its own color and emoji badge.
    • Git status badges (Settings → Dev Tools, off by default): a colored dot marks changed and untracked files inside repositories.
    • Customizable toolbar, pinned tabs, and a menu bar item for quick access.
    • Transfer notifications: a Notification Center banner (with sound) when a long transfer finishes while you're in another app.
    • 14 languages: DockDuck now speaks 14 languages, switchable in Settings.
    • Accounts and a free trial: a first-run welcome walks you through signing in and getting started; your trial and subscription sync across launches.

    Changed

    • Faster, more reliable transfers to FTP/SFTP servers, especially large batches of files: uploads no longer stall on servers that limit connections.
    • Transfer panel redesign: it appears instantly, shows one window per transfer, draws a smoother speed graph, stays centered and fully on-screen, and closing a window cancels that transfer.
    • Editable path bar: hover the breadcrumb for a quick Copy button, and double-click it to type or paste a path.
    • Uploading files that already exist on a server now asks what to do (Keep Both / Replace / Skip), the same as a local paste.
    • Folders refresh automatically when their contents change on disk.

    Fixed

    • Renaming a large file updates its name and icon immediately, with no need to refresh the folder.
    • Dragging files from a Windows VM (an RDP "Windows App" window) into DockDuck now copies them correctly.
    • Deleting several selected items on a server now removes all of them, including non-empty folders.
  24. 0.5.11

    Added

    • Remote servers: connect to SFTP, SMB, WebDAV and FTP/FTPS right from the address bar: type sftp://host (or pick a saved server in the sidebar) and browse it like a local folder. Saved connections live in a new Settings → Servers section, grouped by protocol, with credentials kept in the macOS Keychain.
    • Drag-and-drop transfers between your Mac and any server, in both directions, with a live progress panel (speed, time remaining, throughput chart). Folders transfer with their full nested contents.
    • First-connection trust prompts: unknown SSH host keys and TLS certificates show their fingerprint for you to verify before trusting, the same safeguard you know from other file-transfer apps.

    Changed

    • Servers reconnect automatically when a session drops, so a brief network blip no longer interrupts browsing.

    Fixed

    • Server folders now show the correct folder icon in the tab and breadcrumb instead of a generic document icon.
