About ForkLift 4.7.5 for Mac
ForkLift is a dual-pane file manager and file transfer client for macOS developed by BinaryNights, LLC, first released in 2007 and now on its fourth major version — a complete rewrite introduced September 5, 2023. ForkLift 4 requires macOS 14.6 or later, offers a free trial before purchase, and is distributed directly from the official binarynights.com website. Version 4.7.5, released September 1, 2026, restores arrow-key navigation across rows (so navigation no longer stops at the end of a row, matching older native macOS file-browser behavior), and fixes an issue from 4.7.4 where transfers from search results to remote connections remained stuck in the queue, a possible hang when a remote server stops responding, and a bug where the file view failed to update after an external drive was disconnected without being ejected first. What makes ForkLift stand out among Mac file managers is how comprehensively it can replace Finder for daily use: it can be set as the Mac's default file viewer so that most other apps open folders in ForkLift instead of Finder, and it supports comparing files with Xcode's FileMerge, Kaleidoscope, Beyond Compare, or Araxis Merge. Beyond local file management, ForkLift connects to FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, and cloud services including Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Team Drives, and Microsoft OneDrive, with iCloud sync for favorites between Macs and per-folder saved views. Recent updates have added metadata-powered batch renaming (using capture date, camera model, artist, album, and more), custom metadata columns in List View, and full compatibility with macOS Tahoe's Liquid Glass design language.
