Features

Major features:

• Smart global search: Finds files and folders in seconds (searches full 1TB drive in ~2 seconds). Its typo correction system handles typos, wrong case, wrong word order, missing words, missing symbols, and missing file extension.

• Tabs: Keep multiple directories open and switch between them instantly.

• Split view: Any tab can be splitted into 2 panes which you can navigate indipendently and transfer files between them easily.

• Extensions and marketplace: Install extensions from the built-in marketplace or local folders. Extensions can add commands, pages, shortcuts, settings, and more.

• Default file manager: On Windows, Sigma can replace File Explorer for most everyday file actions.

• LAN file sharing: Share or stream files and folders over your local network, with browser access, QR codes, and FTP support.

• Network locations (Alpha stage): Connect to remote locations such as SSHFS, NFS, SMB, and CIFS.

• Address bar: Navigate with the keyboard, autocomplete paths, and quickly jump to parent folders.

• Item filter: Narrow large folders with glob patterns and property filters for size, dates, MIME type, and more.

• Smart drag and drop: Move or copy local files more comfortably, and handle web drops more smoothly.

• Shortcuts and command palette: Most actions are keyboard-friendly, with global shortcuts and a fast command palette for app and extension commands.

• Home banner and visual effects: Personalize the UI with custom images, videos, built-in artwork, transparency, blend modes, and other style controls.

• Dashboard and quick access: Reach favorites, tagged files, most visited locations, and history data from one central area.

• Tags: Organize your files and folders with tags.

• Zip archives: Compress files into .zip archives and extract them without leaving the app.

• In-app updates: Download and install updates directly from update notifications.

• Quick view: Instantly preview images, videos, audio, PDFs, and text files with Space , then move through files without opening external apps.

• WSL drives: On Windows, browse detected WSL distributions directly in the navigator.

• Localization: The app has translations for all most used languages.

• And more. Extensions provide additional features like video downloading (1000+ sites supported, including YouTube, Twitch, etc.), media converter, image size optimizer, etc.

The funding will be used for funding the development of this and my other big projects.

I'm also working in collaboration with a few universities on a project that will help scientists speed up development of new medications and treatments for diseases, reducing the time need to find a new medication from 10 years (current average) to just a few months, and hopefully help humanity get rid of diseases (the project will be open-sourced later);
