Two panes, driven by Vim keys
Move with j/k/h/l, switch panes with Tab. Mark multiple files, copy or move them to the other side, and undo — without touching the mouse.

ONE FLOW, TWO LOCATIONS
Know before you open.
Act from anywhere.
Stop breaking your flow just to look at a file list. VeloFiler brings the operations you repeat all day — in development and content work — onto one screen with one set of keys.
Inspect files before opening them
Images, video, audio, PDF, Office documents and code render instantly. Markdown supports GFM, math, Mermaid and Zenn syntax — all rendered locally.

Remote servers, in your usual pane
Connect from ~/.ssh/config and browse, preview, edit, create, rename, delete and transfer with the same keys as local files. Idle disconnects reconnect automatically on your next action.
Auto reconnect · Host keys always verified · Your private keys are never stored by the app
Browse photos as thumbnails
Toggle list ⇄ grid with i. JPEG, PNG, HEIC and more are shown in their EXIF orientation; step through every file with j/k, move by row with ↑/↓ and sideways with ←/→. Each pane remembers its view mode.

MORE THAN A FILE LIST
Everything around the files, too
Built-in editor
Switch between Standard and Vim input. Japanese IME, search, undo/redo and syntax highlighting — and you can edit files over SSH directly.
Markdown notes
Start writing instantly with gN, with autosave. Organize, rename, delete and keep history of multiple notes inside the app.
Finder drag & drop
Exchange files with Finder directly. Items on SSH are streamed on demand, only when they are actually needed.
Bookmarks & fuzzy jump
Recall frequent places with a single key, and incrementally search your visit history to get back to deep folders fast.
Cloud storage
gc detects iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive sync folders. Pick one and it opens right in the pane.
LOCAL ↔ REMOTE
Large files,
with visible progress.
SSH transfers and remote previews are fully streamed. Progress and transferred size stay visible while everything continues in the background.
