What users say about XtraFinder
Ease of use: 4.0
Installation is a bit cumbersome. Necessarily so, as SIP (system integrity protection) needs to be disabled. Many features … to the point that they require a bit of work to make use of them.
Reliability: 2.0
It requires that a key security feature (system integrity protection, SIP) is disabled. Not good for reliability of not just the app but the system as a whole.

Version: 1.9
I really like the feature set. But having to disable system integrity protection is a no-go for me.
Not sure how much of the functionality could be made available in a stripped down version that works with SIP enabled.

XtraFinder 1.9 appears to run okay under Tahoe Beta 2, this is on a Apple Silicon mac. No longer have any Intel macs, haven't tested on that. Disabling SIP on TAhoe process is identical to Sonoma/Sequoia (i.e. boot into Recovery mode, open Terminal)

I recently upgraded my 16'' 2019 MacBook Pro to a 14'' 2024 MacBook Pro M4, which necessitated reinstallation of XtraFinder, which couldn't be accomplished by following the instructions in the installer package because the necessary Terminal commands wouldn't run. I emailed Tran Ky Nam and, not unexpectedly, didn't receive a response, so I did some searching and was disappointed to find that it's not possible to disable SIP in Sequoia as is required to install/run XtraFinder. And even worse, when I logged in to MacUpdate to post a comment, I found this at the top of the XtraFinder page: "APPLICATION IS NOT UNDER DEVELOPMENT & NOT SUPPORTED." So long to an old friend! :(

Thanks to the developer for continuing to update, even if it takes awhile. The latest 1.9 works fine in Sequoia and Sonoma. This app is a critical part of my workflow. I don't remember life before I had dual-pane! Or perhaps I don't want to remember. I have paid for multiple registrations several times simply to support the developer and $4.99 is a steal compared to the value. He could easily charge for updates every time macOS changes, but he hasn't. A relief to know I am okay for at least another year until macOS 16 is released.

It's good to know this app is not dead yet. Unfortunately, it still does not work in Sequoia. It launches but terminates every time I do something in the Finder. 😕
