Forklift 4
We have optimized every aspect of the app to ensure lightning-fast performance. Whether you’re browsing files, transferring data, or managing your storage, you’ll notice a significant improvement in speed. You will experience the biggest change in performance when you’re synchronizing files.
We believe that a great user experience begins with a beautiful interface. ForkLift 4 sports a sleek, modern design that not only looks fantastic but also enhances usability.
It looks pretty good, but I’m not a fan of lists of iOS-style checkboxes. The Settings window seems inspired by the Ventura System Settings, but it doesn’t actually use the same coloring or sizing. I do like that the pop-up menus look like pop-up menus.

I appreciate that they didn’t go full subscription. It’s a bit like Agenda: you have all the updates for 1 or 2 years (depending on what you selected), then all the features remain yours for ever — you just don’t get new features if you don’t want to pay anymore.
@Corentin I guess it’s more like Sketch because you don’t get new bug fixes, either?
I didn't see bug fixes were not included after the free update period… That's sad!
Also the same as Panic Nova: subscribe for updates and new versions (arbitrary difference), unsubscribe = use what you have forever. Not cheap so I definitely let it expire immediately. Let's see in a year or two.
In the comments section of their blog post they say they are working on adding this to Setapp. Currently Setapp has Forklift 3.
