Fast, focused, and built entirely for your Mac. No bloat, no compromises.
Every window opens instantly. Every interaction feels considered. Every detail has been sweated over. A file manager that finally feels like it was made for your Mac. Because it was.

Download the Latest Release DMG, open it, and drag Wiles.app to /Applications.
brew tap marcops/wiles git@github.com:marcops/wiles.git
brew install --cask wilesNote: Wiles isn't distributed through the Mac App Store, so macOS may ask you to confirm you trust it the first time you open it.
If Gatekeeper blocks the app instead of just asking, Right-Click Wiles.app in Finder and choose Open — or run:
xattr -cr /Applications/Wiles.app
To update anytime:
brew upgrade --cask wilesInstant, by design. Wiles opens the moment you click it — no splash screen, no spinner, no waiting around. Every interaction, from opening a folder of thousands of files to zooming your icon grid, is built to feel immediate.
Two ways to move. Both fully yours.
Prefer modifier keys? Cmd+Down opens, Return renames, Cmd+Up goes up. Prefer single-key speed? Enter opens, F2 renames, Backspace goes up. Wiles adapts to how you move — switch anytime in Preferences.
See where your space went.
Hit Cmd+Shift+D and watch a visual, proportional breakdown of your biggest files and folders appear — instantly, with nothing to install and nothing to wait for.
Rename one file or five thousand. A live before/after preview shows you exactly what's about to happen — find & replace, prefixes and suffixes, sequential numbering — before you commit to anything.
Convert and crop, right where you are. Drag-select a crop, resize to an exact pixel count, or flip between JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and TIFF — without ever leaving the file list.
Compression that doesn't get in your way. Zip and unzip run in the background on Apple's own compression engine, so a large archive never freezes your window.
Browse it your way. Stick with familiar Places and Favorites, or open a full Directory Tree and see your entire filesystem laid out at once.
Sweated over, down to the pixel.
Real drag previews with shadows, folders that light up as valid drop targets, marquee box selection, Quick Look on Space, instant search on Cmd+F — the details that make a file manager feel like it belongs on your Mac.
Fluent in five languages. English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and German, detected automatically from your system language — switchable anytime.
A real Mac app, not a website in a window. Wiles is built from the ground up for your Mac — not adapted from some other platform. That's the difference between an app that launches instantly and feels at home on your desktop, and one that makes you wait.
Small on disk. Light on battery. No bundled browser hiding inside, no background processes dragging your fans on. Just a small app doing exactly what it's asked and nothing else.
