cmdX is a small macOS utility that adds the missing Cmd + X file-cut function to Finder, just like you know it from Windows. It makes moving files smoother, smarter, and faster.

Works perfectly on:

• 💻 Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4...)
• 🧠 Intel-based Macs

• 🪄 Adds real Cmd + X / Cmd + V support for files
• ⚡ Works natively inside Finder
• 🧱 Lightweight, no background bloat
• 🎯 Compatible with macOS Big Sur and later
