Rethinking the Finder context menu
Super RClick turns frequently repeated file operations into actions available directly from Finder or the menu bar. The goal is not to replace Finder, but to remove the small context switches that accumulate across a working day.
Core actions
- Copy full, POSIX or shell-escaped paths
- Open Terminal in the selected directory
- Compress files and folders with visible progress
- Batch rename with preview and conflict detection
- Convert PNG, JPEG, TIFF and HEIC images
- Create more than 20 document, code and configuration file types
- Add custom actions and choose which commands remain visible
Local-first AI
The project also explores AI file actions without making cloud upload the default. macOS Vision and CoreML power local OCR and background removal, while optional providers support OpenAI-compatible services, Zhipu, Moonshot and Ollama.
The app is written in Swift and SwiftUI, with a shared core, a Finder Sync extension and a separate menu bar workflow. Batch rename is planned before any file is changed, so conflicts can be shown rather than discovered after destructive work.
Verified status and current limits
The main application and Finder extension currently build successfully. The public repository contains unit, integration and UI test targets, but the test bundle does not compile because one test still calls a removed batch-rename API. The app coordinator and Finder extension entry points also remain large and should be decomposed.
The source is publicly inspectable and the app is free to download, but the repository does not currently contain a LICENSE file. For that reason this page deliberately does not call it MIT-licensed or open source until the legal file matches the README.
