Furman

File & URL Repository MANager
a dual-pane file manager for macOS inspired by times when Dos Navigator was the king.
_{furman is also Polish for "carter" — one who hauls goods by horse-drawn cart, and in our case, hauls files.}

Features

• Dual-pane layout with per-panel tabs — work in multiple directories at once
• S3 cloud storage — connect to AWS, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2, and 38+ providers
• SFTP remote access — browse and manage files on any SSH server
• Built-in terminal — bottom panel, Quake-style drop-down, or inline per-pane
• Git integration — branch, status, and pull right in the panel header
• Batch rename — find/replace, prefix/suffix, numbering, and case transforms
• Right-click context menu — all file operations one click away
• Command palette — Cmd+Shift+P to find and run any command
• Undo — Cmd+Z to undo delete and rename operations
• Directory comparison — Cmd+Shift+D to diff left and right panels
• MCP server — standalone binary exposing S3 and SFTP tools for AI agents via Model Context Protocol
• AI model inspector — instant metadata for SafeTensors, GGUF, and ONNX files (architecture, parameters, quantization, tensors) — header-only, works on 70 GB+ models
• Archive browsing — navigate inside zip, rar, and 7z as if they were directories
• View, edit, search — built-in viewer, editor, and file/content search
• Drag & drop, quick filter, auto-refresh — everything you'd expect from a modern file manager
• Dark & light themes — follows your OS, or toggle with a shortcut
• Preferences — 20+ settings across General, Appearance, Network, and Terminal tabs
