Can anyone confirm if this is Open Source or not? Looks like it used github as an issue tracker but I'm not seeing the source code anywhere.

- Andrew_nenakhov 2y agoIt is not Open Source. But it is the best file manager on macOS.
- beanjuiceII 2y agowhats the catch? not open source but free?
- tommy92 2y agoA year or two ago when I first read about it, I saw in the software faq, or maybe it was a post by its creator on HN itself or reddit, that they will make it paid once it reaches stable version(version 1?).
- Andrew_nenakhov 2y agoIf you pay $15 in total via Patreon, you'll get perpetual license.
- owaislone 2y agoYeah it does look really nice.
- lolpanda 2y agowhat do people think about installing new software from less well known companies and giving the app full access to all your files? how would i convince myself that this software won't upload my data in the background?
- owaislone 2y agoI personally have a hard time trusting closed source software random sources I've never heard of before. Maybe I'm just too paranoid but I try not to run random software especially something that has as widespread access to my data as a file-manager.
