01 The workbench

## Two panes. Drag from one side to the other.

A proper side-by-side file browser. See where things are going and where they came from at the same time, copy or move between the two, and run jobs on a whole batch at once. It is keyboard-first and predictable: the kind of tool you stop noticing because it never gets in your way.

- Side-by-side panes for copy and move
- Keyboard-first, with shortcuts for everything
- Batch operations with progress and cancel
- Works the same on Windows, macOS and Linux

For your IT team

- **Runtime** — Electron 34 desktop app; Angular 20, TailwindCSS 4, PrimeNG 19
- **Drives** — Drive discovery on Windows / macOS / Linux
- **Operations** — Async batch copy / move / delete with progress and cancel
