Coxswain is a two-pane file manager in the Norton Commander tradition. The terminal app shows git status in every panel, and the desktop app adds tabs, a sidebar, previews and themes. Both share Everything-style instant search.

Download

Every file comes from this release's Assets list below.

Windows 10/11 on ARM Coxswain_…_arm64-setup.exe (or the .msi) coxswain-terminal-…-aarch64-pc-windows-msvc.zip

On FreeBSD one line installs both, with the packages the desktop app needs:
fetch -qo - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwo-dk/coxswain/master/install/install-freebsd.sh | sh
(FreeBSD).

The terminal app is a single file named coxswain (coxswain.exe on Windows). Put it anywhere on your PATH.

What it is made of

coxswain-terminal-…sbom.cdx.json and coxswain-desktop-…sbom.cdx.json list every component of each app (CycloneDX SBOMs), coxswain-….cbom.cdx.json the cryptography both use (a CBOM, which either app shows as a rated tree), and THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md every component's licence; it also ships inside the apps. See Licences and bills of materials.

The apps are not code-signed

Coxswain is free, and the builds are not signed with a paid certificate, so your system warns you the first time:

  • Windows: SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
  • macOS: the app "can't be opened" or "is damaged". Drag Coxswain to Applications first, then run this once in Terminal:
    xattr -cr /Applications/Coxswain.app. Do the same for the terminal app's coxswain file.
  • Linux: no warning. Make the AppImage executable (chmod +x) and run it.

Build it yourself

You can build from source instead:

git clone https://github.com/mwo-dk/coxswain.git
cd coxswain
./install/install.sh          # Linux or macOS

On Windows:

git clone https://github.com/mwo-dk/coxswain.git
cd coxswain
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install\install.ps1

The script offers to install Rust and Node.js if they are missing, and it asks before it does. See INSTALL.md for details.
