Cut & Paste
files on Mac.

macOS only lets you copy files. CommandMove adds the missing Cmd+X so you can actually move them.

What it does

Everything you need to move files the way macOS should have always supported.

Keyboard shortcuts

Cmd+X to cut, Cmd+V to paste. Same shortcuts you already know, now working for files.

🖱️

Right-click cut

Right-click selected files in Finder and choose "Cut Files" from the Quick Action menu.

📍

Menu bar controls

Cut, paste, clear the clipboard, open Accessibility settings, or quit — all from the menu bar icon.

🚀

Auto-launch at login

Toggle it on from the menu bar so CommandMove is always ready when you need it.

🛡️

Conflict handling

Duplicate filename? A numbered copy is created automatically. Files already at the destination are skipped.
