Win Finder screenshot

Everything you missed from Windows

📁

Editable path bar

Always visible, 80% of the toolbar. Click it, type a path, press Enter. Exactly like Windows Explorer.

🍞

Breadcrumb navigation

Each folder is a clickable token. Click > to see subfolders. Click empty space to edit the path directly.

🔍

Recursive search

Searches all subfolders by default. Supports wildcards like *.pdf and doc*.

🎨

Colorful file icons

404 file type icons. PDFs are red, ZIPs purple, Swift files orange — just like Windows.

🖱

Right-click menu

New File, New Folder, Compress to ZIP, AirDrop, Rename, Delete — all where you'd expect them.

⌨️

Keyboard shortcuts

Delete moves to Trash. Shift+Delete permanently deletes. Cmd+C / Cmd+V copy and paste files.

🔌

Extension system

Add custom actions to the right-click menu via JSON files. Nested submenus, custom icons, context filtering.

🌍

Multilanguage

English, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Malagasy ❤️. Follows your system language.

Extensible by design

Any app can add actions to Win Finder's right-click menu — no SDK, no approval process. Just a JSON file.

{
  "name": "Git",
  "context": ["folder", "background"],
  "submenu": [
    { "name": "Pull", "command": "cd '{file}' && git pull" },
    { "name": "Push", "command": "cd '{file}' && git push" }
  ]
}
