WorkDir

macOS Project Hub

A focused command center for your projects, configs, and todos on Mac. Stop digging through Finder. Start working.

Coming soon to Mac App Store

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
