Switchback
Windows Explorer features, inside the real Mac Finder
Switchback adds a typeable path bar, an expandable folder tree, pausable copies with a speed graph, and a Task Manager to the Finder you already use. No new file manager. 14-day trial, no card. $24.99 once.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Gavin, the developer. I switched to Mac and kept reaching for Explorer habits: typing a path, expanding a folder tree, pausing a big copy, a proper Task Manager. So I put them inside Finder.
One thing to know before you try it: setup includes a one-time Apple Recovery step that sets startup security to Permissive, because Finder is protected. The in-app guide explains it and how to undo it: https://getswitchback.io/setup/
Apple silicon + macOS 26.6.2. Trial starts after setup works, no card. Would love your feedback, especially on what else you miss from Windows.
