Files (folio) is Omarchy's file manager. It's one quiet window that follows your Omarchy theme and language, works from the keyboard, and never crawls your home folder in the background: folders are read when you open them, and thumbnails are made when a tile needs one, shared with every other app through ~/.cache/thumbnails.
- Three views: a grid with real previews, a list, and Finder-style columns. Ctrl+1/2/3 switches.
- Space previews pictures, video, audio, PDFs, text and Markdown at full size, in their own window.
- The sidebar holds everything in your home folder, pinned folders (shared with GTK file dialogs), Recents, Trash with restore, your drives, and the machines on your tailnet, which open over SFTP.
- Right-click (or Alt+Enter) to open with another app, rename, duplicate, compress, share by Dropbox link, Taildrop or LocalSend, and delete. Copy and paste work with other apps, and nothing is ever overwritten.
- Split the window in two with Ctrl+Alt+N to move things between folders.
- Plugins add sidebar sections, Share entries and views; Tailscale, Dropbox and LocalSend are plugins too. docs/plugins.md shows how to write one.
