Finder is the default file management application on macOS, serving as the central hub for navigating and organising files, folders, and applications on your Mac. It provides a graphical user interface that allows you to easily access, manage, and manipulate your files. You can open Finder by clicking on its icon in the Dock, which looks like a blue and white smiley face.

In Finder, you can perform various tasks such as creating new folders, moving and copying files, searching for documents, and viewing files in different ways (e.g., as icons, lists, or columns). Finder also integrates with iCloud, making it simple to manage files stored in the cloud. Understanding how to use Finder effectively can enhance your productivity and make managing your digital life on a Mac more intuitive and organised.
