About:
fman is a dual-pane file manager designed for speed and efficiency, featuring a powerful Python API for deep customization and plugin development. It provides a modern, distraction-free interface that enables rapid file navigation and operations. Its primary value is offering a highly extensible, keyboard-driven workflow for power users.

Key Features:

Dual-pane interface for efficient file operations
Extensive Python API for plugins and customization
Fast, keyboard-centric navigation and search
Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)

Use Cases:

Power users needing a fast, scriptable file manager
Developers who want to automate file operations via Python
Users migrating from Total Commander on Windows

Alternatives:

Path Finder – More feature-rich native macOS app, but less focused on keyboard workflow and extensibility.
ForkLift – Excellent FTP/SFTP client and file manager, but primarily a native macOS app without fman's cross-platform API.
