Nothing changes until you confirm. Your own OpenAI or Gemini key, or a local Ollama model.

Real features, real numbers — try them on your own folders.

See it work

Real app, not mockups.

Every picture below is a real Kommanda 2.27 window — no mockups, no retouching beyond hiding a username.

Kommanda with a project on the left and documents on the right
Source on the left, target on the right

Move work between folders without juggling Finder windows. F5 copies, F6 moves, Tab switches sides.

The junk remover listing cleanup categories, each marked Safe or Rebuild
Junk, sorted by how it comes back

Every category says how it regenerates — “Safe” comes back on its own, “Rebuild” after an install. Your picks go to the Trash.

Folder Map showing folders sized by disk use
See where your disk went

Folder Map sizes every folder at a glance, so the one eating the space stands out.

A PowerPoint deck in the preview panel with Accurate Preview and Open in PowerPoint
Slides that look like slides

One click renders a deck exactly through Keynote or PowerPoint — instead of Quick Look's guess.

A TypeScript file with syntax highlighting in the preview panel
Read code without opening an editor

Syntax highlighting for dozens of languages, with search and replace right in the preview.

The Connect to Server dialog
Your network, in the sidebar

Connect to SMB, AFP, NFS and WebDAV servers with ⇧⌘K. Shares stay in the sidebar until you disconnect.

An image in the preview with Crop, Adjust, Filters and Copy
Quick image fixes

Crop, rotate, filter, or copy the picture straight into a chat — without opening another app.

Get Info for 18 selected files at once
Get Info for many files at once

One window, every file, and a total — not eighteen Finder windows.

How it treats your files

Powerful, and careful by design.

A file manager that deletes things has to earn trust. These are rules the app keeps — and one it breaks counts as a bug.

Nothing deleted for good

Every delete and every cleanup goes to the Trash. Change your mind tomorrow.

Only what rebuilds

Cleanup touches regenerable folders — node_modules, caches, build output. Never your source.

Show, then ask

Removals list exactly what was found, with sizes. The assistant shows its plan before it acts.

Your key, or none

No account. AI uses your own key — or a local Ollama model, so nothing leaves your Mac.

Why Kommanda

Finder shows your files. Kommanda works with them.

01

Knows junk from work

Right-click a project: copy it without node_modules and .env, or trash just the rebuildable parts.

02

Two panes, keyboard first

F5 copies, F6 moves, F7 makes a folder, Tab switches sides. Tabs in each pane with Pro.

03

Previews that tell the truth

Code, PDFs, images, archives, and PowerPoint decks rendered exactly — not Quick Look's guess.

04

Your whole network

Connect to SMB, AFP, NFS and WebDAV servers, browse iCloud and every cloud drive, send with AirDrop.

05

Finds the space

Reclaim Space and Folder Analysis show where your disk went — and what's safe to give back.

06

An assistant when you want one

Rename by content, organize, convert, run a script — planned, shown, and confirmed first.

75+GB

Reclaim Space

Found on one developer's Mac.

Old DerivedData, forgotten node_modules, Python virtualenvs, package and model caches. Kommanda only lists folders that rebuild themselves, says how each one comes back, and moves your picks to the Trash.

Questions

Good to know.

Is Kommanda really free?

Yes. The Free version keeps working forever — the file manager, previews, terminal, network and cloud drives, and Copy Without / Remove for project folders. Your first 14 days include every Pro feature, no card needed.

Can cleanup delete something I need?

It only lists folders that rebuild themselves (node_modules, caches, build output), labels how each comes back, and moves your picks to the Trash — so even a mistake is one drag away from undone. .git and .env.example are never touched by the quick Remove.

Does my data leave my Mac?

No account, no file uploads. AI uses your own OpenAI or Gemini key — or a local Ollama model, so nothing leaves at all. Read the privacy details →

Does the assistant change files on its own?

No. It shows what it understood and the exact actions, and waits for you to apply, review each step, or cancel.

Which Macs does it run on?

macOS 14.6 or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. Signed and notarized by Apple; updates arrive inside the app.
