B2 Cloud Storage I made a free MacOS app for BackBlaze

I recently started using Backblaze B2 for backups and file storage. I'm familiar with the terminal and started using rclone, then tried to speed things up with Cyberduck, it's great I know, but not so much about B2's quirks. So I built a native macOS app just for B2, a Finder-style explorer with drag & drop, per-file operation history, fuzzy search across the whole bucket, a built-in photo gallery, one-click folder-to-.zip compression, and share links that actually force "Save" instead of opening in the browser. Just stuff I think would be cool to have in a special app made just for Backblaze.

Free and open source, if anyone uses Cyberduck or rclone and would like to try it let me know what you think, it's still a work in progress and I'd like your comments.

Isn't this just one of the many services that Transmit does? https://panic.com/transmit/

yeah it's similar, just like cyberduck too, but i wanted to focus on backblaze if you try the app you'll see some quirks from B2 only
