I kept running into one small annoyance in macOS Finder: going Back or Forward meant moving the cursor back up to the toolbar every time.
So I built FinderBack, a small macOS utility that adds Back and Forward navigation directly to Finder’s right-click menu.
It’s intentionally simple:
- Right-click anywhere in Finder
- Choose Back or Forward
- Keep navigating without reaching for the toolbar
The project is open source, and there’s also a ready-to-run build for people who just want to install it.

It’s a tiny utility, but it solved an annoyance I had constantly. If you use Finder a lot, I’d be interested to hear whether this is useful for you too.
