When you select an app you can see the app bundle, sandbox, and app group containers at a glance. When you enable the Finder Sync Extension there is even some functionallity in the context menus where you can perform all of SimPholders's actions.

We support FUSE for OS X 2.7.5 or later. FUSE is Open Source and free.
