Double Commander is a free, open-source dual-panel file manager inspired by Total Commander, designed for power users and systems administrators who find Finder's limitations restrictive. It features side-by-side file browsing, tabbed panels, batch rename tools, archive handling (ZIP, 7Z, TAR, RAR and more), integrated text editor and file viewer, network protocol support (FTP, SFTP, SSH), extended search with full-text capabilities, and background file operations. The app is highly customizable with support for custom commands, shortcuts and macros. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionDouble Commander ships a native Apple Silicon build that is actively maintained and available through the official SourceForge download page. Download the latest native macOS build directly from sourceforge.net/projects/doublecmd/ — SourceForge will automatically serve the correct architecture for your Mac. The native build is labeled with "aarch64" in the filename. Alternatively, Double Commander is available through Homebrew, macOS's package manager; if you use Homebrew, simply run 'brew install double-commander' and Homebrew will pull the native build. Your existing configuration, tabs, custom commands and preferences carry over automatically when you upgrade, so migration is seamless. After updating, expect noticeably lower CPU usage and better battery life compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
