50+ ready-to-use actions for your Finder right-click menu
🔒 No spying · 💵 No subscription · 🛠️ Actively maintained
Every time you right-click in Finder, you're stuck with Apple's limited context menu. Want to convert an image? Open in Terminal? Run a quick script? You have to leave Finder, open another app, navigate back to your file, and do it manually.
macOS has Services and Folder Actions, but they require Automator knowledge or AppleScript expertise. Most people give up before they start.
The "easy" solutions cost $10-15, require subscriptions, or haven't been updated since 2019. Some are abandonware. Others are overkill.
SaneClick gives you 50+ ready-to-use actions — no scripting required. Browse by category, toggle on what you need, done.
- Curated Library: 50+ pre-built actions organized by category
- One-Click Install: Toggle actions on/off instantly
- Smart Filtering: Actions appear only for matching file types
- Custom Scripts: Power users can write Bash, AppleScript, or Automator workflows
- Categories: Essentials, Files & Folders, Images & Media, Coding, Advanced
