About Commander One

Commander One is a dual-pane file manager for the Mac in the style of Total Commander. It adds unlimited tabs, three view modes, multiselection, an operations queue and several search methods to everyday file work.

It connects to FTP, SFTP and WebDAV servers, Amazon S3, Google Drive and Dropbox, and can move files to and from iOS and Android devices. Archives such as ZIP, RAR, 7Z and TAR open like folders, and files inside them can be edited without unpacking. It runs natively on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and is sold both directly and through the App Store.
