HangarAlienworld AppsSkip and carry on
Hangar skips a file it can't copy, copies everything else, and gives you a report that lists each failed file and the reason. Retry failed sends just those files again.
Features
Built for the files that live on other machines.
Hangar is a dual-pane file manager for macOS. It has a keyboard for everything, a column view that works in half a window, and copies that keep going when one file goes wrong.
Copying and safety
Copies you can trust
One unreadable file never stops a job. Safety is never a paid extra: undo, skip-and-continue, the error report and conflict handling are all in Hangar Free.
Undo anything
Every operation can be undone and redone, from a copy to a batch rename.
Transfer queue
Pause, resume and cancel copies from the queue. Conflict handling and folder merging decide what happens when names collide.
Fast on your own disks
Instant APFS clones and parallel small-file copies.
Verify after copyPRO
Each copied file can be checked against the original after it lands, with checksums.
Resumable copiesPRO
A copy picks up again after a quit, a crash or a dropped server. Server speed limits keep a big transfer from taking over the connection.
Servers
Servers that stay responsive
Server connections are part of Hangar Pro. Shares you mount in Finder work in Hangar Free.
SFTP with your ssh configPRO
Hangar reads your ~/.ssh/config, so your hosts, keys, ssh-agent and ProxyJump hops work the same way they do in Terminal. Transfers keep many requests in flight at once instead of waiting on each one.
SMB on your NASPRO
An SMB manager with fast browsing. Slow servers load in the background, so the window keeps responding while a big folder lists.
S3 storagePRO
S3 and S3-compatible storage sit in the same sidebar as your other servers.
Server to serverPRO
Copy straight between two servers.
Mounted volumes
Volumes macOS has mounted, including SMB shares mounted in Finder, work in Hangar Free.
Cloud drives
Cloud drives work through their own Mac apps. Browsing iCloud Drive never starts a download you did not ask for.
Keys and views
Commander keys, Finder manners
Two panes side by side, and the other pane is always the copy target.
A keymap for laptops
The keymap avoids clashes with macOS shortcuts and needs no function keys, so it works the same on a laptop keyboard. If you prefer F5 and F6, a Commander keymap is one setting away, and the shortcut editor changes the rest.
Command palette
Find any command or folder by typing a few letters.
Four views
Columns, List, Tree and Icons, chosen per pane. Each folder can remember its own. The column view stays usable at half a window.
Tabs and pinned tabs
Keep many folders open in each pane, single or stacked. Pinned tabs stay at the front and come back with the window.
Quick Look and preview
Press Space for Quick Look, or keep a preview pane open beside your files.
Workspaces and flat viewPRO
Save window layouts as workspaces, and see a whole folder tree in one flat list.
Everything else
The rest of a working day
Folder sizes
See how big a folder really is, one at a time or for every folder in view.
Batch rename
Replace text, add numbers and change case with a live preview that counts clashes before anything changes.
Advanced renamePRO
Regex, photo metadata tokens, chained steps and saved presets.
Folder sync and comparePRO
A dry run shows every copy and deletion before it happens, with filters and saved profiles. Compare panes marks newer, different and missing files, and can compare contents by hash.
Photo cullingPRO
Pick, reject and rate with single keys, compare side by side, then move the picks to the other pane. RAW and JPEG pairs travel together. Thumbnails, a filmstrip and a full-screen viewer are free.
Archives
Open a zip like a folder, extract what you need, or make a new zip from a selection.
Finder tags
The same tags and colours as Finder, in the sidebar and as a column. Search uses Spotlight plus a live scan. Tag search and filters across volumes come with Pro.
Themes
Graphite, Paper, Midnight and High Contrast come with Hangar Free. Pro adds more.
Good macOS manners
Works without Full Disk Access. Open in Terminal, copy a path, Reveal in Hangar, Share and AirDrop.
Developer toolsPRO
Git status badges, a size browser, a viewer for huge files, a built-in diff, a shelf, user tools that run your own commands on the selection, the hangar command-line tool and AppleScript.
