## About

FilesMac is a file manager and a text editor in the same window. Browse with tabs, list, grid and column views, Quick Look with Space, and Go to Folder with Shift-Command-G. Then open any folder as a project: file tree on the left, editor on the right, syntax highlighting for dozens of languages, and live previews for Markdown, HTML, images and PDF.

The small things are covered too. Drag a file straight into Mail or Slack. Connect to SMB, AFP, NFS, FTP or WebDAV with Command-K and let macOS keep the password in your Keychain. Deleted something by mistake? Put Back returns it to exactly where it was. Twenty-two themes, twelve dark and ten light.

No accounts, no analytics, no telemetry, and nothing leaves your Mac. It works offline. One licence covers up to 3 Macs. $5 once, and a 10-day refund if it isn't for you.
