The layout you know
Tabs across the top, navigation pane on the left, a details view with sortable columns — the Windows-11-Explorer arrangement, pixel for habit.
For macOS · Direct download · One-time license
The file manager Windows switchers miss.
You switched to a Mac, not to a new way of thinking about files. FilePilot brings the Explorer you've used for years — tabs, a real details view, copy dialogs that ask sensible questions — built natively for macOS, with Mac shortcuts and Quick Look where they belong.

Explorer's layout, the Mac's manners
Everything you keep reaching for from Windows 11's Explorer, behaving like a proper macOS citizen underneath.
Conflict dialogs that make sense
Replace, skip, or keep both — with sizes and dates side by side, per file or for all. Exactly the conversation Explorer would have with you.
Mac-native shortcuts
⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘⌫ and friends work exactly as your Mac muscle memory expects. Your Explorer instincts and your macOS habits both land.
Undo and redo, everywhere
Moves, renames, copies, deletes — every file operation is one ⌘Z from never having happened. And ⇧⌘Z brings it right back.
Trash safety
Nothing vanishes by accident. Deletes go to the macOS Trash, and permanent deletion always asks first — in plain words, not a riddle.
Quick Look built in
Press Space to preview images, PDFs, video and more without opening an app — the one Finder habit worth keeping is right here too.
Try the whole thing first
No card up front, no account, nothing that auto-renews — because there's nothing to renew.
Download FilePilot
A direct download for macOS — coming soon. Open it next to Finder; macOS doesn't mind having both.
Use everything for 30 days
The trial is the full app — tabs, details view, undo everywhere. No feature gates, no card required.
Pay €25 once, or walk away
If it sticks, one payment makes it yours. If not, the trial simply ends — no subscription was ever started.
One price, paid once
No subscription, no tiers, no "pro" upsell. The trial is the product; the license just removes the clock.

Privacy
FilePilot is a local app for your local files. That's the whole policy, but here it is spelled out.
Your files
FilePilot reads and writes files on your Mac the same way Finder does — locally, at your instruction. It does not upload, index to a cloud, scan, or transmit your files or their names anywhere. There are no FilePilot servers for your data to travel to.
No telemetry, no account
- No usage analytics, no tracking, no crash reports sent anywhere.
- No account or sign-in — the trial and the license both work without one.
- No ads, no third-party SDKs collecting data in the background.

Common questions
Does FilePilot replace Finder?
It runs alongside Finder — macOS doesn't allow replacing it, and you don't need to. Keep FilePilot in the Dock and use whichever fits the moment.
Some folders show as empty or won't open.
macOS protects certain folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, external drives) behind permission prompts. If you declined one, re-enable it in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Files and Folders — or grant Full Disk Access there to cover everything at once. Relaunch FilePilot afterwards.
How does the 30-day trial work?
The trial is the complete app with no card and no account. When it ends, FilePilot asks for a license — your files and settings are untouched either way, and nothing was set up to auto-renew.
How do I buy or recover a license?
The €25 one-time license will be available from this page when FilePilot ships. Lost your license? Email us from the address you bought with and we'll resend it.
