Commander
Commander is a file manager utility for macOS that provides a dual-pane interface for efficient file management. It allows users to browse, copy, move, and organize files across two side-by-side panes, reducing the need to open multiple windows. The app includes features such as multi-tab browsing, advanced search capabilities with Spotlight integration, ZIP archive support with compression and extraction, file operation queueing, customizable hotkeys, and a built-in terminal emulator. Commander runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs and is available as a free version with optional Pro features.

1 suggestionCommander One already runs natively on Apple Silicon—the app has had native support since at least version 3.10, and the latest builds are confirmed running on M-series Macs. If you are still using an older Intel-only version under Rosetta, simply update to the latest version: open the app, go to Help > Check for Updates (or equivalent), or download the current build directly from the developer's website. After updating, you will see a noticeable performance improvement and better battery life during file operations. There is no special installation or beta channel needed—the standard installer serves the native build on M-series Macs.
