Generate an embeddable card to be shared on external websites.

A file explorer with glob patterns and file streams.

No Ads, No Registration, No Network Access, Minimal Permissions; Local Data Storage, Privacy Guaranteed.

  • Smart Matching: Supports file/path wildcards and content regular expressions for recursive, precise targeting.
  • Batch Processing: Incremental mirroring, duplicate finding, searching, replacing, archiving, unarchiving, one-click cleaning, and more, for convenient operations.
  • Secure Deletion: Multi-pass overwrite mechanisms ensure files are permanently unrecoverable.
  • Scheduled Tasks: Execute file management tasks at scheduled times, compatible with CRON expressions.

Customisation: Write custom rule scripts for complete command over file operations, similar to writing a Makefile, via the open-source CLI tool. The included CLI tool, ft, is accessible as fileshows.ft after installation. Users are encouraged to create a shell alias (e.g., alias ft=fileshows.ft) for convenient direct access.

Security & Access: Snap's sandboxing may limit file access outside your $HOME directory. For unrestricted access, download a pre-compiled ft binary from the official GitHub releases page: https://github.com/huanguan1978/ft/releases
