Classic Mac Finder

Everything you loved about navigating files on your Macintosh Performa, Quadra, LC or Power Macintosh.

This project aims to be a functional re-creation of the classic Mac OS Finder. Now you can experience a pixel-for-pixel clone of the original Macintosh Finder on your modern Mac. This application is written in Objective-C and Cocoa.

Installation

This application is distributed as an unsigned .app binary. All releases can be found under the Downloads tab to the left. A download of the most recent version is linked on https://classicmacfinder.com.

Install as you would any other cocoa app.
