Ratings and Reviews
See AllBlows Apple Spotlight Out of the Water!
This is a terrific file search applicatin that blows Apple's Spotlight out of the water. I've found over the past few years that most apple native applications are useless at best. They hardlly update them other than to make them more graphically "elegant". So,I've been turning to third party apps to do what Apple used to do well. And this application "Nimble Commander" does exactly that. It is simple, not overdown, and is quick. To be frank, I'll probably be breaking out of Apple's high security prison (fenced in garden) for Linux as I don't need to spend excessive cash on toys meant for entertainment (streaming, reading, music, etc. ). I need a computer that acts like a computer.
It’s great.
I don’t know why this fast, flexible lightweight local file management utility hasn’t garnered more attention. There’s nothing not to like about it.
Super fast and flexible
This has been my go-to file manager for over a year. Powerful and fast.
