Commander One
brew install --cask commander-one
v3.17.1
Dual-panel file manager with FTP/SFTP support as a Finder alternative.
Why you might care
Commander One offers a traditional Norton Commander-style two-panel layout that makes file operations faster than Finder. It's free and includes built-in FTP/SFTP support, which is useful if you regularly need to manage remote files without additional tools. Good for power users who prefer keyboard-driven navigation.
