A native macOS file manager built for people who live in their files. Multi-tab browsing, keyboard-first navigation, and a Start Page that finally makes sense.
No spam. One email when early access opens.
Five things you'll notice in the first five minutes — and never want to give up after.
Built in Swift with a native macOS rendering pipeline. No Chromium, no 200MB bundle, no fan spinning. DockDuck launches in under 50 ms and scrolls a folder of 10,000 files at 120 Hz.
Every new tab opens to your Start Page — a smart layout that surfaces what you touched recently, the folders you live in, and your pinned shortcuts. No more navigating from /Users/you/ every single time.
Open ten projects in one window. Tear a tab into its own window. Drag files between tabs. Keep your workspace organized the way you organize the rest of your day — and pick up exactly where you left off when you relaunch.
⌘K opens an inline command palette that fuzzy-matches across files, folders, tags, and actions. Every navigation, every selection, every operation has a keyboard shortcut. Remap any of them to whatever your fingers already know.
Press space on any file to see a high-fidelity preview — code with syntax highlighting, video with scrubbing, PDFs that paginate. Plus metadata that actually means something: dimensions, codec, line count, dependencies.

// …ls -lah for fun. DockDuck is being built one keyboard shortcut at a time. Every design decision, every benchmark, every painful refactor — out in the open. No marketing fluff, no growth-hacked launch. Just a file manager I want to use, and a small audience that wants to use it with me.
We're shipping DockDuck to early users this quarter. Drop your email and you'll be first in line — no spam, no marketing list resale, just a single notification when early access opens.
