ForkLift Overview
ForkLift is a professional dual-pane file manager and file transfer client for macOS developed by BinaryNights. It is designed as a powerful alternative to Finder, combining local file management with connections to remote servers, cloud storage services, and network volumes. The current ForkLift 4.7.2 release was published in July 2026 and requires macOS 14.6 or later.
Its dual-pane interface makes it convenient to work with two folders or locations simultaneously, which is particularly useful when copying, moving, comparing, or organizing files. ForkLift supports connections through SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, SMB, NFS, AFP, and other supported services.
The application also includes folder synchronization, advanced search, tabs, file previews, archive browsing, batch renaming, Git integration, remote file editing, file comparison, terminal integration, and an application deleter. Recent versions have added checksum calculation and metadata-based batch renaming, further expanding its capabilities for professional workflows.
