# The everyday details that save the most time.

Drive discovery, batch jobs with progress, previews, offline work, preferences and read-only by default.

Under the hood

## The everyday details that save the most time.

None of these need configuration. They're just how the file manager behaves.

### Full drive discovery

Every connected drive on Windows and Linux shows up automatically — no drive letters to hunt for, no mount points to remember.

### Batch jobs with progress and cancel

Copy, move, convert, or rename hundreds of files as one job. Watch live progress, and cancel cleanly mid-job if you need to.

### Preview without opening

DOCX, PDF, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP and plain text preview right inside the browser pane — no separate viewer app.

### Works with the network off

Every tool — search, OCR, conversion, printing — runs locally. Once the OCR languages you use are on the machine, disconnect it and nothing changes.

### Dark mode, configurable preferences

A workbench you can tune to how you actually work, not just how it shipped.

### Read-only by default

Browsing and searching never modify a file. Anything destructive — rename, delete, overwrite on convert — asks first.

## See who actually uses each tool.

Legal teams search contracts. Front desks scan ID cards. Records teams clean up decade-old archives. Same six tools, different jobs.

     Mateju 18:19, 20
     Još vam kažem zaista:ako se dva od vas slože na zemlji u čemu mu drago, zašto se uzmole, daće im Otac moj koji je na nebesima. Jer gde su dva ili tri sabrani u ime moje onde sam ja medju njima.
