About Nimble Commander
Nimble Commander puts two file panels side by side in the manner of the classic file managers of the 1980s and 1990s, with most work done from the keyboard: moving through folders, copying and moving between panes, and acting on selections without reaching for the mouse. It aims to pair that workflow with the look and feel of a modern Mac app.
The source is published under GPLv3. Current builds are available from the project website, GitHub releases and Homebrew, with a user guide and changelog kept in the repository; earlier releases are archived in a separate repository.
