The first public beta of Peach Commander — a fast, keyboard-driven, dual-panel file manager for macOS, in the Total Commander tradition.

Two folders side by side, roughly 150 named commands under your fingertips, archives you step into like folders, FTP/SFTP/WebDAV that browse like local directories, and a real plugin system. Native AppKit, not a web view in a window.

Getting it running

  1. Download PeachCommander.dmg below, open it, and drag Peach Commander onto Applications.
  2. The first launch is blocked by macOS — this beta is deliberately not code-signed or notarized. You allow it once:
    • macOS 15 Sequoia and later: double-click once and dismiss the warning, then go to System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Apple removed the Control-click shortcut for unsigned software in macOS 15, so right-clicking does not help here.
    • macOS 13 Ventura / 14 Sonoma: right-click the app ▸ Open, then confirm.
  3. Optionally grant Full Disk Access so Peach Commander can reach everywhere Finder can.

The installation guide walks through all of it with screenshots.

What's in the box

  • Universal binary — native on both Apple Silicon and Intel.
  • Requires macOS 13 or later.
  • 12 plugins bundled and active out of the box: Git, Archive, WebDAV, iCloud Drive, Disk Map, System Monitor, Task Manager, Uninstaller, Log Viewer, Notes, AI Assistant and AI Column.
  • 19 languages, UI and in-app help.
  • Passwords live in the macOS Keychain only, crash reports stay local, and the app does not phone home.

Known limitations

This is a beta — it does a lot already and is genuinely useful day to day, but things are still moving. The plugin SDK in particular can still change.

  • Not code-signed or notarized, hence the first-launch step above.
  • Auto-update (Sparkle) is planned but not wired up yet — you update by downloading a newer build.
  • Very large ZIP64 archives aren't handled by the built-in reader.
  • Changing file attributes over SFTP has no effect in this version.
  • Panels notice outside changes on a short (~2 s) delay; F2 / Ctrl+R refreshes immediately.

The full list is in the app under Help ▸ Known limitations.
