VeloFiler is a dual-pane file manager for macOS designed around keyboard-driven file operations. It lets users compare two locations, move through folders with Vim-style keys, preview files before opening them, and copy or move items between local and remote panes. The same operating model applies to local files and SSH servers configured through the user’s existing `~/.ssh/config` setup. The app combines file browsing with local previews, grid-based image inspection, text editing, Markdown notes, remote transfers, Finder drag and drop, bookmarks, fuzzy folder jumping, and cloud-folder access. Its core purpose is to keep finding, inspecting, editing, and moving files in one workflow instead of requiring separate tools for each step. VeloFiler is intended for file-intensive development and content work. It supports local volumes as well as SSH/SFTP locations, with streamed remote previews and transfers that display progress while operations continue in the background. ## O que VeloFiler pode fazer? ### Dual-pane keyboard navigation Use Vim-style j/k/h/l, Tab, zz, marking, copy, move, and undo to work across two locations without relying on the mouse. ### Local and remote previews Inspect images, video, audio, PDF, Office documents, Markdown, and code before opening them. Remote content and large SSH files can be streamed with visible progress. ### Grid and image viewing Switch between list and thumbnail grid views. Images retain their EXIF orientation, and the viewer provides Fit and 100% views, zoom, and two-way scrolling. ### Built-in editing and notes Edit local or SSH files with Standard or Vim input, Japanese IME, regular-expression search and replace, syntax highlighting, undo, and redo. Create autosaved Markdown notes with history. ### Remote and cloud workflows Browse SSH/SFTP hosts from ~/.ssh/config, transfer files, reconnect after idle drops, and open detected iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive sync folders. ## Casos de uso ### Inspecting project files Compare directories in two panes, preview Markdown, code, documents, and media, then edit or move selected files without repeatedly switching applications. ### Managing remote development files Connect to a configured SSH host, browse remote folders, preview large files, edit text, and transfer results between the server and a local pane. ### Reviewing media folders Use thumbnail grid view to scan JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, and other images while retaining keyboard navigation and EXIF orientation. ### Keeping operational notes with file work Create autosaved Markdown notes, retain note history, and optionally store notes in a configured folder such as Dropbox. ## Perguntas frequentes ### Which platforms does VeloFiler support? VeloFiler is a file manager for macOS and is distributed through the Mac App Store. ### How does SSH authentication work? VeloFiler uses the existing SSH setup through ssh-agent or a passphrase-free IdentityFile, with hosts selected from ~/.ssh/config. Password and passphrase prompts, as well as ProxyJump, are not supported. ### Can VeloFiler reconnect if an SSH session becomes idle? It checks connectivity before operations and reconnects automatically after a dropped session, up to three attempts. Read operations can retry after reconnecting; writes and deletes that may have partially completed are not retried automatically. ### Can notes be stored in a cloud-synced folder? Yes. The notes directory can be configured to a path such as ~/Dropbox/VeloFilerNotes, subject to macOS granting folder access. ### What does VeloFiler cost? The product site states a one-time purchase price of US$9.99 and says there are no in-app purchases.
