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.
