Lumina 1.0 Coming soon

The first public release. Highlights from the pre-release builds:

Workspaces hold up to eight panes in columns, rows or a grid, and come back exactly as you left them on the next launch.
Drag pane dividers to resize; double-click to make panes equal; resize with the keyboard too.
Rename a workspace right in its title-bar chip; right-click a workspace or pane tab for Duplicate, colour, Show in Finder, Copy Path and Open in Terminal.
⌘W on a workspace's last pane asks before closing the workspace (or closes it straight away, if you prefer).
Lumina keeps a single main window; clicking the Dock icon brings it back.

List, Icons and Columns views, switchable per pane with ⌃1, ⌃2 and ⌃3.
List columns are resizable, remember their widths per pane, and can be reset from the header menu.
Copy, cut and paste files (⌘C, ⌘X, ⌘V, ⌥⌘V) with progress and Cancel; a conflict dialog offers Replace, Keep Both or Skip.
New File with templates, Batch Rename, Compress and Extract for zip, tar and gz, Duplicate, Show Package Contents.
Pane search with kind:, ext:, size:, date: and tag: operators, and saved searches in the sidebar.
Finder tags in the list, the inspector and the sidebar.
Undo for moves, renames and Trash; Put Back for items Lumina moved to the Trash.

Command palette (⌘K) with fuzzy matching ranked by what you use most.
Go to (⇧⌘G): path completion with Tab, recent and suggested folders, ⌘↩ to open in a new pane.
Every command is in the menu bar with its shortcut; mouse back and forward buttons work per pane.

Native previews for code, Markdown, plain text, images, PDF, CSV and TSV tables, spreadsheets, Office documents, audio, video, zip archives, draw.io and Excalidraw.
The preview grows to use the space available in the inspector.
Inspector actions by file kind: convert and resize images, make or combine PDFs, export PDF pages as images, extract audio, Share and Print.

A customizable action bar with New Folder, New File, Terminal, Open With, Copy Path, Duplicate, Compress, Rename and Trash. Choose and reorder actions in View › Customize Toolbar.
On narrow windows, actions step into an overflow menu one at a time.
Open in Terminal supports Terminal, iTerm2, Ghostty, Warp, WezTerm, kitty, Alacritty, Hyper, Tabby or any app you pick.

iCloud Drive and cloud-storage providers appear under Locations; rename or hide them in the sidebar.
Badges show cloud-only, downloading and uploading files. Selecting a file never downloads it; use the Download button or Download Now when you want it.
The search index never downloads cloud-only files.

Ask AI about a file, a selection or a folder (⌘J), with suggested questions per file type.
Restructure a folder: a before/after plan you can edit, apply and undo in one step. Choose names-only or names-and-excerpts, or use offline rules without AI.
Works with Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible providers, including local model servers. Keys are kept in the Keychain; sensitive data is redacted before sending.

Light and dark appearance; highlight colour in Lumina Teal, the macOS accent or your own colour, with automatic contrast adjustment.
Available in English, German, French, Japanese and Vietnamese, with localized folder names.
Settings with nine sections and search.
