About This App

A Better Finder Attributes 6 is a file metadata editor for macOS that lets you view and modify file attributes, permissions, creation and modification dates, type and creator codes, and other low-level file properties. It is used by power users, system administrators, and developers who need fine-grained control over file metadata that is not easily accessible through the Finder's standard Get Info panel. The app integrates with the Finder context menu for quick access to selected files.

A Better Finder Attributes 6 has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer receiving updates. According to Roaring Apps, the application has been flagged as end-of-life, meaning development and support have ceased. Although the app was built with a Universal Binary and is technically capable of running natively on Apple Silicon, the discontinuation status means no further fixes, compatibility patches, or maintenance will be provided. The Intel version will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If you depend on this app for file metadata editing, you should begin exploring alternatives now. Consider Finder's built-in file tools (right-click Get Info), the command-line tools like `touch` and `chmod` (for developers), or third-party alternatives like A-Zippr or Keka (for broader file management with metadata support). Contact the developer to confirm the discontinuation status and ask whether they have any plans for continued maintenance, though historically discontinued projects rarely receive updates.
