And I was a paying customer! So just based on the way they treat their own customers, not to mention all of the quirky weird bugs and having to pay for the app more than once (like with almost every upgrade), I can no longer recommend Path Finder. I mean, they literally ignored and even deleted my posts asking for help. *Update: I used path finder app for quite awhile, but ended up ditching it due to completely terrible support. Unclutter turned out to be something altogether different than what I was expecting, but it’s still pretty cool so I’ll leave it on the list. It took awhile to learn all of the settings provided by Path Finder, but I think it’s gonna be sufficient going forward.

Of these apps, I’ve already grabbed a copy of Path Finder (see Update below*) and Unclutter. The degree of extra functionality provided by each of these apps varies, but hopefully the list will enable you to “find” an ideal replacement for TotalFinder. Path Finder – Free Trial (purchase from $36, see Update below*).ForkLift 2 – Free Trial (purchase from $29.95).

Files for OS X – Free “lite” version (purchase full from $24.99).

Disk Order – Free Trial (purchase from $24.95).

DCommander – Free Trial (purchase from $19.95).

CRAX Commander – Free Demo (purchase for $19.99).

Commander One – Free (Pro version available from $29.95).

That said, here is my growing list of apps that enhance and extend Mac’s native Finder functionality (presented in alphabetical order). The not-so-good news is that none of them, in my opinion, are as refined and intuitive as the one and only TotalFinder. As mentioned, the good news is that there is no shortage of decent alternatives to TotalFinder. So several months ago, I bit the bullet, removed TotalFinder, and began searching for a suitable replacement. Personally, I don’t mind hacking stuff, but these days there just isn’t enough time to fiddle with OS mods, especially where potential security implications are concerned.

So to run TotalFinder on Mac OS X, you need to disable SIP, which obviously is not recommended by Apple. In other words: El Capitan’s SIP breaks TotalFinder. That’s good, but unfortunately it prevents TotalFinder from augmenting Finder. System Integrity Protection (SIP) is a new security feature introduced by Apple. Okay so first, technically TotalFinder will work on OS X 10.11 (aka, El Capitan), but only after disabling OS X’s built-in System Integrity Protection: Fortunately there are plenty of decent alternatives to TotalFinder, even if you’re running the latest version of Mac OS X. Unfortunately, as explained in my rant about things that suck about Mac, TotalFinder no longer is compatible with Mac 10.11+. Mac’s native Finder enables users to navigate and manage their files, similar in concept to Windows File Explorer. For years, I enjoyed the advanced Finder functionality provided by BinaryAge’s excellent app, TotalFinder.
