## About

Branchway is a native Mac file manager for people who live in their files. It keeps what Finder gets right and adds the things you reach for every day.

• Dual panes and tabs: work in two folders side by side and split any tab.
• Search in plain English: type "photos from last week" and Branchway finds them, typos and all. ⌘K jumps to any file, folder or command.
• See before you open: a preview pane for images, video and PDFs, plus a native Markdown viewer.
• The Shelf: a drop zone that collects files from anywhere so you can move them in one go.
• Storage made clear: a disk usage map, large files, and cleanup that always goes to the Trash first.
• Compare folders, batch rename, browse inside zip and other archives, and work with iCloud Drive and OneDrive.
• Themes that feel at home on macOS, in light and dark.

Everything runs on your Mac. No account, no subscription.

Try every feature free for 14 days. After the trial, browsing, search and preview stay free; changing files needs a one-time licence, from $19 for one Mac.
