⌘

Speed

Listing 50,000 files without freezing the UI. Treemap rendered in seconds, not minutes.

Clarity

Information density without clutter. Sort indicators, focus rings, contextual menus — every pixel earns its keep.

Control

Bulk operations, regex rename, ⌘K palette. Power for people who actually move files for a living.

Native MacOS

Swift, SwiftUI + AppKit. Ventura 13+. Zero external dependencies. It feels Mac because it is.
Why Filaxy™ exists

Built for the way power users actually work.

For the developer who runs one OS at the office and another at home. The designer with a PC at the studio and a MacBook at the café. Anyone who lives between two operating systems and is tired of switching mental models.

Filaxy answers the four questions every power user asks: where did my disk go, how do I rename 200 files at once, what is a duplicate of what — and please, can I have two panes side by side.

Dual-pane is table stakes for serious file work. Filaxy ships it on day one, alongside a disk treemap, a forensic duplicate hunter, a regex bulk rename, and a ⌘K palette that runs the whole app.

“A bridge between two operating systems. A power tool on either side.”
Feature 01

Dual-Pane Bridge

Two folders, one focus.

The single biggest productivity feature most file managers still don’t ship. Filaxy™ ships it on day one — two panes side by side, drag between them with no modal in the way, and per-pane path memory so your hands never leave the keyboard.

  • Two folders · simultaneous view
  • Drag between sides · no modals
  • Path memory · per pane
  • Focus follows the active pane

Treemap Observatory

Where did my 200 GB go?

Filaxy™ answers in five seconds — a colored treemap where rectangle area equals folder size. You don’t scan your drive. You look at it.

  • Color = file class

Feature 04

Duplicate Hunter

Three phases. One verdict.

Phase 1: group by size (cheap). Phase 2: hash the head bytes of each candidate (fast). Phase 3: full hash only the survivors (expensive but rare). The result: forensic certainty at consumer speed.

  • Phase 1 — size buckets
  • Phase 2 — head-byte hash
  • Phase 3 — full hash on survivors

Command Palette

Every action is one keystroke away.

A ⌘K palette that doesn’t just open files — it runs the app. Rename, scan, switch language, jump to any folder, run any action. One mental model. One keystroke plus a few characters.

  • ⌘K — universal command palette
  • Fuzzy match across actions + paths
  • No menus to memorize

Compared

What changes when you switch to Filaxy.

A side-by-side against the default MacOS file manager. No names, just facts.

Comparison reflects shipping features as of v1.0. The “default file manager” refers to the one that ships pre-installed with MacOS — Filaxy™ is not affiliated with it.
UI showcase

The UI is the product.

Every view in Filaxy™ renders dozens of small details — sort indicators, hover states, focus rings, contextual menus. The interface earns its keep on every pixel.
