About nnn
It's tiny, nearly 0-config and incredibly fast. It is designed to be unobtrusive with smart workflows to match the trains of thought. nnn can analyze disk usage, batch rename, launch apps and pick files. The plugin repository has tons of plugins to extend the capabilities further e.g. live previews, (un)mount disks, find & list, file/dir diff, and upload files. A patch framework hosts sizable user-submitted patches which are subjective in nature. Open with desktop opener or specify a custom opener. Plugin for image, video and audio thumbnails. Run plugins and custom commands with hotkeys. Create (with parents), rename, duplicate files and dirs.

DiskBee
DiskBee is a macOS utility that adds read-write access to NTFS-formatted external drives and BitLocker-encrypted NTFS volumes. It mounts drives for use in Finder, allowing users to copy, edit, rename, move, and delete files without reformatting the disk. BitLocker volumes can be unlocked with a password or recovery key; writes remain encrypted for use with Windows. A permanent free tier supports read-only browsing and copying files off NTFS drives, while Pro enables writing and additional disk tools. The app can check NTFS structures, perform supported repairs, format drives as NTFS, test disk speed, and work with Windows-compressed files. DiskBee runs locally on Macs with macOS 15.4 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel processors. It is intended for Mac users who exchange drives with Windows users and need to manage NTFS storage for work or personal use.
