FolderCascade for Mac

Preview every change before applying. No surprises, no silent failures. Native, offline, and fast.

FolderCascade fixes a long-standing macOS Finder limitation. When you apply a color or label to a folder, macOS does not propagate it to subfolders.

On large folder trees, this quickly becomes slow, inconsistent, and error-prone.

FolderCascade applies Finder colors and labels to an entire folder hierarchy in one controlled operation. One action, total clarity.

Built for people who care about structure, developers, designers, project managers, photographers, researchers, and anyone managing complex folder trees.

What it does

• Select or drop any folder to start a cascade
• Apply Finder colors and labels to the root folder and all subfolders
• Change labels directly inside the app before applying
• Live subfolder count, including folders excluded by depth limits or ignore rules
• Preview panel showing exactly how folders will look before changes are applied
• Fully native macOS app, fast, offline, no setup required

Why it matters

• Keeps folder hierarchies visually consistent
• Eliminates repetitive manual labeling
• Makes large projects readable at a glance
• Prevents silent failures by showing exactly what happened
• Adds the control Finder never shipped
• Turns a risky bulk action into a transparent, predictable decision
