Captains Deck

Captains Deck is a native dual-column file manager designed for efficient macOS.

Users and developers, featuring a classic Orthodox Commander-style layout that integrates side-by-side directories, keyboard-first operations, built-in terminals, remote storage access, Git status, and archival browsing into one window. It supports Apple Silicon and Intel Mac, built on Swift, AppKit, and high-performance cores, emphasizing fast startup, low resource usage, and a stable local experience. Users can copy, move, delete, create a catalog, switch panels, and search using the F key, Captains Deck Vim style hjkl, or commonly used macOS shortcuts; The built-in PTY terminal synchronizes bidirectionally with the current panel path, making it ideal for seamless switching between file browsing, building, Git operations, and server maintenance. The software also supports SFTP, FTP, S3, WebDAV, SMB, cloud storage, and multiple file formats, making remote directories and compressed files as browsable, editable, and manageable like local folders.
