EmpiricCommander
iOS Universel / Productivité
EmpiricCommander is a dual-pane file manager for iPad and iPhone, inspired by classic Norton Commander. Built 100% in SwiftUI, privacy-first, and blazingly fast.
Manage files across local storage, iCloud, and eight cloud and network providers from a single keyboard-friendly interface. Copy between Google Drive and S3. Browse a ZIP archive as if it were a folder. Organize your Downloads folder in one tap.
DUAL-PANE BROWSING Browse two folders side by side on iPad and iPhone landscape. Single-pane with tabs on iPhone portrait. Up to 10 tabs per side. Adapts to your screen automatically.
REMOTE CONNECTIONS Connect to SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible: MinIO, Backblaze B2, DigitalOcean Spaces, Cloudflare R2), Azure Blob Storage and Google Drive. Browse remote files like local ones. Drag and drop between local and remote.
BUILT-IN SHELL (iPad) OmniShell - a custom in-process shell with piping, redirection, tab completion, and 20+ commands. Manage files without leaving the app.
ARCHIVE BROWSING Step into ZIP archives as if they were folders. Browse contents, extract individual files, or unzip everything with one click.
POWERFUL TOOLS
- Tree View: hierarchical folder browsing with expand/collapse
- Duplicate Finder: SHA-256 based, find and clean wasted space
- Disk Usage: visual breakdown with treemap
- Batch Rename: pattern-based renaming for multiple files
- File Comparison: diff folders side by side
- Folder Sync: mirror, update, or merge directories
- Shelf: persistent cross-source collection of files you're working with

KEYBOARD ON iPAD External-keyboard support: arrow keys to navigate, Tab to switch panes, Space to select, Return to open, Esc to clear selection. Toolbar buttons labeled with classic F-key conventions (F2 Rename, F5 Copy, F6 Move) for muscle memory.
PRIVACY-FIRST Zero tracking, zero analytics, zero third-party SDKs. Credentials live only on your device, in the system Keychain. Cloud connections go directly from your device to the provider - Empiric Apps servers never see your files.
