rspace is a fast, native desktop app for your cloud storage. Connect Drive, S3, Dropbox, and 70+ more providers, then browse, move, and sync files across all of them from one window — no command line required. Built on rclone, with a clean native UI on top.

▶ See it in action — 90 seconds

• Every remote in one window — Drive, S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, Backblaze B2, Azure, SFTP, WebDAV and the rest of rclone's 70+ backends, side by side.
• Real transfers — copies, moves and syncs run in the background with live progress, throughput and ETA.
• Built-in previews — read documents, code and images without downloading them first.
• Search that reaches into subfolders — filter a deep tree, then act on the results.
• Keyboard-driven — a command palette and shortcuts for every action.
• rclone stays visible — daemon status, version and logs are one click away, never hidden behind the UI.

Download the latest build for your platform from the Releases page:

• macOS — .dmg (Apple Silicon or Intel); open it and drag rspace to Applications.
• Windows — .exe installer (or .msi).
• Linux — .AppImage (chmod +x and run) or .deb.

rspace drives rclone, so rclone must be installed — it is the only thing rspace needs to run. rspace finds it automatically and offers to install it if it's missing, and it reads the rclone config you already have, so configured remotes show up on first launch.

The app is not notarized (no paid developer certificates), so each OS shows a one-time prompt:

• macOS — launch rspace once, then System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway (or xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/rspace.app).
• Windows — SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway.

To uninstall, use rspace → Uninstall rspace — it wipes all app data and moves the app to the Trash. Your rclone config and cloud files are left untouched.

Only needed if you're contributing or building yourself — the Releases page has prebuilt installers.

• Rust — current stable (edition 2024; rustc ≥ 1.85).
• macOS only — full Xcode (not just Command Line Tools) plus the Metal Toolchain, required to compile gpui's shaders:

  sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
  sudo xcodebuild -license accept
  xcodebuild -downloadComponent MetalToolchain

cargo build --workspace      # build everything
cargo test --workspace       # run tests
cargo run -p rspace          # launch the app

Cargo workspace under crates/:

• core — storage, manifest, accounting
• rclone_rc — rclone detection, daemon lifecycle, RC API client
• ui — the gpui shell
• app — the binary

The tag is the source of truth — pushing one is the release. One command (cargo-release, cargo install cargo-release):

cargo release patch   # or minor / major

It bumps the shared workspace version, commits, and pushes a vX.Y.Z tag. That tag push triggers package.yml, which builds the macOS/Linux/Windows installers with cargo-packager, signs the auto-update artifacts, and publishes the GitHub Release — with release notes generated automatically from the commits in the tag range. (Add --execute once you've confirmed the dry-run plan; cargo-release dry-runs by default.)

One-time repo secret:

• CARGO_PACKAGER_SIGN_PRIVATE_KEY / CARGO_PACKAGER_SIGN_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD — the updater signing key + password (generated via cargo packager signer generate) so package.yml can sign the auto-update artifacts. The public half is embedded in crates/ui/src/update.rs; in-app self-update verifies against it.
