The Missing Multi-Pane Layouts

Better Search Experience

Bloom brings “Go to Folder” system-wide with an intuitive shortcut ⌘⇧⏎, so you can navigate to any location instantly, from anywhere.

*When you are in Bloom, you can bring this panel up with a single tap at “Tab”.

Search Files by Keyword

Actually the panel supports both path navigation and keyword search. When you enter keywords, Bloom searches exclusively within your predefined locations (by default, ~). It can scan tens of thousands of files in seconds, delivering lightning-fast results ⚡️.

Search Where You Work

With Bloom, you can search right where you are—just press ⌘F in any folder and start typing. The search is live, so any changes you make to the file system appear instantly. You can also use ⌘R to manually refresh the search results.

Portal

Portal is a compact Bloom window without the sidebar or preview. Though it looks small, it offers all the core features of a standard window. Use it to open your working directory or as a temporary transfer station. You can pin it on top of other windows, and when dragged to the edge of the screen, it will automatically collapse into the edge.

Portal Mode

View Archives

Bloom supports viewing archive contents without extracting them. You can browse the compressed file structure in the inspector, just like a regular file preview. For text/image/PDF entries under 10MB, you can even press «Space» or double-click to open them directly.

Archive View

Sync Browsing

After enabling this in the toolbar, as you navigate through the folder list on the left panel, the contents of the selected directory are automatically displayed in the right panel. This makes it easier to browse your files without switching context.

Column Auto Resize

Bloom is dedicated to optimizing the file-browsing experience, and this takes it to the next level. With Auto Resize enabled, you no longer need to tweak the name column or adjust the column width in column view to see full file names.

Why Settle for White and Gray?

Tired of Finder’s one-size-fits-all gray or white? In Bloom, you are the one who sets the tone. Pick your favorite color and Bloom will style the interface to match it beautifully, keeping everything balanced and cohesive.

FAQ

  • Is Bloom safe?

    Bloom is an offline application that does not collect any personal data. It is designed to respect your privacy and security.

  • Why there is nothing in Tags in the sidebar?

    Bloom requires full disk access to read tags as they reside in an inaccessible location. You can enable this in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access.

  • How can I set Bloom as the default app for “Reveal in Finder”?

    If you’d like to set this up, see here.

  • Are there any plans for more language support?

    Yes, but I have many things on the roadmap now, so this might have to wait a bit longer.
