FinderFlow 1.0 — first public release.

  • 📝 Built-in code editor — tabs, syntax highlighting, command palette (⌘⇧P), Sublime-style minimap
  • 📖 Markdown reader & editor (no Obsidian needed)
  • 🏷️ Real Finder-compatible color tags
  • 🔎 Spotlight search across your whole Mac (+ .ext search)
  • 👀 Preview for popular file types (Quick Look engine)
  • 🖱️ UI cut / copy / paste / move / compress / extract with undo/redo
  • 🧑‍💻 One-click Open in Terminal / VS Code / Cursor / Claude Code / Codex
  • 🔗 One-click copy folder path

Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel) · macOS 14+ · ≈ 6.8 MB · Free & open source (MIT).
