Free and absolutely amazing to look at. Interface is intuitive and inviting. Very user–friendly.

A competent file manager that forgets it's a utility tool in its quest for pretty visuals. Putting aside the poor contrast on many UI elements, every time you change navigation you are forced to sit through a ~200ms opacity transition each side. This unnecessary slow-down and disregard for system animation settings is unfortunately a deal breaker for me.

A feature request has been open for reduced animations since 2021 and it has not been implemented despite promises. https://github.com/aleksey-hoffman/sigma-file-manager/issues/9

It seems to be working much faster than Windows default one. Looks promising to me

What is Sigma File Manager?

"Sigma File Manager" is a free, open-source, quickly evolving, modern file manager (explorer / finder) app for Windows and Linux.

The list of major features:

  • SMART GLOBAL SEARCH: feature allows you to find any file / directory on your computer in just a few seconds. It also implements a typo correction system, allowing you to find files even when the search query includes typos, wrong case, wrong word order, missing words, missing symbols, and missing file extension.

  • TABS: feature allows you to quickly switch between multiple directories with a click or a shortcut.

  • WORKSPACES: feature allows you to create separate workspaces with their own tabs and pre-defined actions, allowing you to quickly switch between them. Actions can perform different operations, e.g. open a website, run a script, open a file in a specific program, etc.

  • ADVANCED WIRELESS FILE SHARING: share a directory or stream any file to your local devices wirelessly without installing any apps. It works on any device with a modern web browser (smart TVs, mobile devices, laptops, virtual machines, etc).

  • ADDRESS BAR: lets you quickly navigate directories with your keyboard. It autocompletes file names and automatically opens directories as you type.

  • ITEM FILTER: allows you to filter out items from the list to quickly find the one you need. It supports advanced glob patterns and property prefixes.

  • ADVANCED FILE DOWNLOADER: stream / download any file from the internet just by dragging it (or its URL link) onto the app. It supports all file types, including videos from video services like Youtube and video streams (with or without auth tokens / URL timestamps).

  • SMART DRAG & DROP: allows you to easily download files from the internet, and provides a comfortable way of copying / moving local files.

  • SHORTCUTS: most actions within the app can be performed with shortcuts. You can also create global (system wide) shortcuts for some actions like opening / hiding the app or opening the app and instantly creating a new note.

  • CUSTOMIZABLE HOME PAGE BANNER: The home page of the app has a unique, recognizable feature - a customizable media background (banner). You can set a custom image / video or choose one of the built-in artworks (kindly provided to me by different artists) and personalize the app to your liking.

  • NOTES: Advanced note editor in this app allows you to create featureful notes and store them in one convenient, quickly accessible place.

  • DASHBOARD: Dashboard page provides a quick access to pinned / protected / tagged items, and the timeline.

  • FILE PROTECTION: This feature allows you to protect any file / directory / note from being modified / renamed / moved / deleted.

  • INFO PANEL: displays useful information about currently selected file / directory and the file preview for media files: audio, video, images (including animated gifs, apng, webp, and many other formats).
