How so? Cmd-X cuts, Delete sends to trash, Enter takes you inside the folder, tabs are easier to see with my additional styling. What's complicated?

why not HappyFinder, so you're basically adding file explorer to the mac?

It's sad that I had to build a better Finder in 2026 — Apple should have fixed the default one. But I'm glad I get to help people work faster and smarter.

the website needs as lot of work it looks weird and watching a video to sell value is bad

Fixed This

Thanks for the feedback, but it doesn't provide any decent insight, information or argument. "video to sell is bad" is a childish comment.
