Path Finder (originally SNAX) is a Macintosh file browser developed by Cocoatech.

[1][2] First released in 2001 simultaneously with the public release of Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah),[3] it replicates or integrates most of the features of the Finder, but introduces additional functionality similar to that found in the Windows File Explorer, the defunct Norton Commander, and other third-party file browsers developed for a variety of platforms.

[1][2] Some of Path Finder's features not found in the Finder include its namesake persistent breadcrumb navigation, shelf (called Drop Stack), transparent archive file browsing, manipulating hidden files, root access, full ACL GUI, batch operations, folder comparison and synchronization, terminal emulator, hex editor, active process viewer, and application launcher.

[1][2][4] Path Finder can optionally use the same ↵ Return keyboard shortcut to open folders as Windows Explorer, instead of the default ⌘ Cmd+O.

[5] In his 2005 review of Mac OS X Tiger, Ars Technica columnist John Siracusa commented that Path Finder "absolutely embarrasses the Mac OS X Finder", and called Path Finder 4 "the Final Cut Pro of file management" and a "file browsing tour de force".
