SuperFinder vs. Finder: a file manager compared.
A Finder alternative built for heavy file operations, compared with the Finder that ships with macOS:
| Capability | Finder | SuperFinder |
|---|---|---|
| Address-bar jumps | ⇧⌘G dialog, paste a path | Permanent address bar: paste and Return, Tab completes each level |
| Tabs | Yes | Yes, plus named layouts saved and restored per new tab |
| Side-by-side compare | No (open multiple windows) | Four-way splits inside a tab, ratios and layouts savable |
| Gathering files | No (juggle via Desktop or folders) | Reference-only shelf: drop-in records a reference, drag-out moves |
| Batch rename | Yes (simple rules) | Live preview + find & replace + whole-batch undo |
| Session restore | Reopen windows after restart | Tabs, panes, shelf and folders — the whole workspace returns |
| Extensibility | Automator / Quick Actions | No third-party extensions; everything ships built in |
| Undo | ⌘Z, limited | Moves, copies and renames all undoable |
| Delete discipline | Trash + immediate delete | Trash only, no permanent-delete entry point |
| Price | Bundled with macOS | Free download (same price on both channels) |
