$16.99

Version 2.3.0

Cosmil overview

Cosmil is a file manager and Finder alternative for macOS designed around flexible multi-pane workflows, fast navigation, and a customizable interface. Its translucent, glassy design integrates with the macOS desktop while providing additional tools for managing local, cloud, and remote files.

Features
  • Flexible multi-pane layouts: Add and remove panes as needed to work with several folders or locations in the same window, with support for tabs and keyboard-driven navigation.
  • Remote locations: Connect directly to FTP, SFTP, SMB 2/3, and WebDAV servers, including NAS devices and other network storage.
  • Remote file editing: Open remote files in other Mac applications and automatically upload saved changes back to the connected server.
  • Cross-location transfers: Copy and move files between local folders, mounted volumes, cloud storage, and remote servers, with transfer progress available through the job manager.
  • Cloud storage integration: Access providers such as iCloud, Dropbox, and OneDrive from the sidebar, with support for cloud file download and eviction states.
  • Fast large-folder browsing: Virtualized file views and optimized directory loading help keep navigation responsive in folders containing large numbers of files.
  • Native macOS integrations: Uses macOS file icons, Quick Look previews, the system Share menu, Open With support, and familiar drag-and-drop behavior.
  • Customizable list view: Resize and reorder columns, sort by multiple file properties, and configure date formatting and other appearance preferences.
  • Search: Search files with streamed results and navigate results without waiting for the entire search to finish.
  • Custom themes: Adjust Cosmil's color palette, create separate light and dark appearances, and import or share theme files.
  • File-management tools: Create files and folders, duplicate items, create symbolic links, calculate file sizes, resolve transfer conflicts with complete file metadata, and view storage usage for mounted volumes.
  • Keyboard-focused workflows: Includes shortcuts for switching panes and tabs as well as F5/F6 copy and move operations between panes.

Cosmil is intended for Mac users who want to manage several locations within a single workspace while retaining familiar macOS behaviors and integrations.

What's new in version 2.3.0

Remote Location Support
  • FTP, SFTP, SMB 2/3, and WebDAV server support
  • Support for opening and editing remote files in any app — changes are automatically uploaded to the server (w/ progress and the ability to cancel uploads in the job manager)
  • NAS discovery through the Network sidebar item
  • Support for previewing remote files through the native macOS Quicklook preview pane
  • Full support for transferring files between any combination of locations
  • Support for dragging or pasting remote files to other applications with lazy downloading
  • Choose between ephemerally connecting to locations or securely saving credentials for future use
Durable Resumable Transfers
  • Copy/Move operations can now be gracefully paused and resumed on-demand
  • Interrupted transfers (e.g. network disconnect, computer slept, etc.) can now be opportunistically resumed
  • Byte-level file resume where possible — large single (or multi) file transfers that are interrupted can be resumed from where they left off instead of restarting from byte 0
  • Safer move operations by default (for non-native moves, the source is retained until all files have been copied instead of copying then deleting concurrently)
  • New "Move Source Deletion" preference if concurrent copy then delete moves are desired
Keyboard Improvements
  • Implement orthodox F5/F6 to copy/move selected files between panes
  • Tab/Shift+Tab to cycle the active pane/tab (tab only if there are 2+ panes)
  • Ctrl+Tab/Ctrl+Shift+Tab to cycle active tabs when using multiple panes
  • Cmd+1…9 to switch between tabs (browser style)
Add 14 Day Free Trial
  • Add a full-featured 14 day free trial that starts when you click Start Trial
  • After the trial period is over, you will be asked to purchase a license to keep using the app
  • All configuration and settings are saved and exportable, even after the trial has ended
Other Improvements
  • Implement drag-to-reorder for list view column headers and tabs
  • Add mutable permissions to preview pane
  • Add live transfer speed to transfer jobs (e.g. "100 MiB/s")
  • Add auto-close list view columns feature (can be disabled)
  • Give name column more space by default in list view
  • Other minor job manager improvements
  • Fix Applications sidebar item not showing all apps on select
  • Minor optimizations to file context menu open speed
