WorkDir
macOS Project Hub
A focused command center for your projects, configs, and todos on Mac. Stop digging through Finder. Start working.
Your projects, one click away
WorkDir replaces the endless Finder digging with a clean, three-column workspace. Pin your home directory, project folders, or any custom location, then browse files, track todos, and open anything in your preferred editor — all without leaving the app.
Built natively with SwiftUI and designed for the Mac App Store sandbox, WorkDir keeps your data on your device while still giving you powerful access through security-scoped bookmarks.
Core Features
Three-Column Browser
Directories, file contents, and details in one glance. Navigate projects the way macOS intended.
Sandbox-Safe Access
Security-scoped bookmarks persist authorization for your home directory and custom folders across launches.
Per-File & Per-Folder Todos
Attach lightweight todos to any file or directory so context and next steps stay together.
Open in Your Editor
Launch files in your preferred editor or terminal with one click. No more right-click menus.
Terminal Integration
Open Terminal in the right directory via low-level Apple Events, designed to work inside the App Sandbox.
CLI Tool Detection
Automatically detects common command-line tools installed on your Mac so integrations just work.
Designed for deep work
WorkDir strips away the noise of a full file manager. The interface is intentionally minimal: a sidebar for locations, a file list, and a detail pane. Everything is within reach, nothing competes for attention.
- Native SwiftUI performance
- Keyboard-friendly navigation
