Merge Folders

macOS

Scattered folders. One place.

Bring the contents of several folders together from Finder. Review the destination, move the contents into one folder, and keep both files when names collide.

Before you merge

Bring the contents together. Know what moves.

Merge Folders moves files on the same mounted filesystem. Keep the folders idle, review the destination, and keep a backup. There is no Finder Undo or automatic rollback for a completed move.

Review, then combine

Less scattered. Still under your control.

Together, not nested

Combine the contents of selected folders into a new sibling folder or a destination you choose.

Both files get to stay

Name conflicts receive numbered names instead of replacing existing items. App bundles and photo libraries stay intact.

Review before moving

A native review screen shows the sources and destination before you start. The app works under your existing file permissions.

Matching subfolders
Their contents combine recursively.
Matching filenames
Both files are kept, with numbered names for conflicts.
App bundles and photo libraries
Bundles stay intact rather than being merged internally.
Folders left behind
Source folders are removed only when empty.

Try Merge Folders free for 7 days

No card or purchase key needed to start. The trial begins when you start it online in the app and lasts 7 consecutive days. After that, activate a purchased key to continue. Reinstalling does not restart the trial.

Version 1.2.0. Installer downloads are included in your purchase. The same app is available to try for 7 days, then requires a purchased key. A paid key unlocks only this app. Online checks refresh its 30-day offline receipt; the purchase itself does not expire. This paid-license cache is not a trial extension. Existing keys and device allowances are unchanged.

After payment, Polar emails a secure route to your license key and downloads. Already own it? Find your purchases.

A note on your data.

File operations run locally under your user permissions, including on already-mounted shares. No analytics or advertising. Activation and renewal send only an app-specific device hash and license credential to Mantiqo; paths and file contents are not sent.

A few useful answers.

It moves files. Every participating folder must be on the same volume or filesystem. Cross-volume merges are rejected before moving.

There is no automatic rollback or Finder Undo. If a merge stops, completed moves remain at the destination and the remaining items stay in their sources. Keep a backup and leave participating folders idle during a merge.

macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. Install the app, start the seven-day trial in a trial-enabled release or activate your Merge Folders purchase key, and enable the Finder extension.
