About This App
Default Folder X upgrades macOS Open and Save dialogs with faster folder targeting, recent-item recall, and Finder-connected navigation so file access takes fewer steps. It adds keyboard shortcuts, Quick Search, app-specific default folders, and in-dialog file actions that streamline repetitive save/open behavior across apps. For file-heavy workflows, it removes dialog friction that quietly drains daily output.
