  1. Opening

    The file manager your Mac deserves.

    The four petals of the logo turn into the four panes of a Folia Files window.

  2. Panes side by side

    All your folders, side by side.

    Folders open in panes next to each other, each with its own view.

    Panes, tabs and scenes

  3. Branches

    The whole tree, at a glance.

    Branches (⌘8), the eighth view: each folder you click opens as a card beside its parent, joined to it by a curve in its branch's colour; zoomed out, the whole tree fits in the pane.

    The eight views

  4. New panes and scenes

    A new pane dragged onto the edge of the window asks what it shows — a folder or a module — and a layout is saved as a scene.

  5. Modules

    Everything at hand, right beside your files.

    The trip folder's note, the Mac's activity and the trip's photos on a map in the right sidebar; then a new pane's grid, where Activity opens in full. Twenty-one modules fit in either sidebar or in a pane.

    Modules

  6. Servers and clouds

    Clouds and servers, like disks.

    Servers and cloud services sit in the sidebar and open like a disk.

    Servers and clouds

  7. Themes

    Make it yours. Truly see-through. Your folders, your style.

    Themes, light or dark, glass windows that let the desktop show through, and folders with their own colour, icon and background.

    Themes and customization

  8. Search

    Find anything, right away. Search by meaning. Or just ask.

    Quick open (⌘P), a search inside documents, and Ask Folia, which finds and moves files from a plain sentence.

    Search

  9. Built-in tools

    Powerful tools, built in. And many more tools.

    Batch rename with a live preview, duplicates, comparing two folders, PDF tools, Space Lens to see what takes up room, and the Tools tab.

    Tools

  10. The drawer

    Drop it in the drawer. Grab it from any app.

    A drawer at the edge of the screen keeps files at hand and gives them to any app.

    Drawer and Shelf

  11. Clipboard history

    Everything you copy, one shortcut away.

    The clipboard history (⌃⌥V) keeps what you copy — text, images, files — and pastes it into any app.

    Clipboard history

  12. Open and Save dialogs

    Any Open or Save dialog, straight to the right folder.

    A panel next to every app's Open and Save dialogs takes them to your favourite or recent folders (website version).

    Open and Save assistant

  13. Folia Files

    The Mac file manager that feels like yours.
