Features

Built for the files you have.

Everything Explorer does – plus search, preview, storage, duplicates, batch rename, rules, a launcher and a local AI. Pictures from the real app with the demo folder.

(01)Browse

Tabs, two panes, workspaces.

Work the way you think: tabs that come back after a restart, two panes side by side and whole window sets you switch with one key.

Tabs
Drag, reorder, restored after a restart
Two panes
F5 copy · F6 move · Tab switches the pane
Workspaces
Whole window sets on Ctrl+Shift+Alt+1…9
Folder sizes
Right in the list, with a size bar
Compare
Two folders side by side, synced one way, mirrored or both ways
Places
OneDrive status, network drives, phones and cameras over USB

(02)Find

Instant search across all drives.

Type and the results are there: by name, type, size, date and tag – or just ask in plain language. With the optional index service it reads your NTFS drives directly.

Speed
11 ms for 2 million files (index service)
Filters
Type, size, date, tags, location
Plain language
“invoices from Telekom over €50 from 2026”
Contents
PDF, Office, text and scanned documents (OCR) – read locally
Saved searches
Live in the sidebar
Search with filters, amounts and plain language

(03)Look

Space bar – and you see it.

Look into files without opening a program. The preview fills the window, walks through the folder with the arrow keys and never runs anything.

Formats
Pictures, PDF, video, audio, Office, Markdown, code, ZIP
Navigation
← → through the folder · F full screen
Safe
HTML without scripts, nothing loaded from the web
Markdown preview with table of contents

(04)Tidy up

Order that lasts.

See what eats your space, find duplicates, rename hundreds of files in one go – and let rules and the local AI keep your downloads in order.

Storage
Biggest folders, categories and safe cleanup suggestions
Duplicates
Identical and similar files with a keep rule
Batch rename
Rules with live preview, date taken, by content
Rules
New files filed automatically – asking first if you like
Local AI
Folder suggestions and names by content, runs on your PC

(05)Developers

Made for people who ship.

Git status in the list, a terminal where you are, your editor one click away – and a launcher that finds apps, files and commands before you finish typing.

Git
Status of every file, branch and changes
Terminal
Terminal here · open in editor · start an agent in the folder
Launcher
Alt+Space: apps, files, commands, calculator
Quick switch
Jump to your folders in any Open or Save dialog

(06)Safety

Nothing gets lost.

Every action lands in the history and can be undone – even after a restart. Copies survive interruptions and pick up where they stopped.

Undo
Full history, even after a restart
Recycle Bin
Delete goes to the Recycle Bin by default
Transfers
Queue, pause, resume, verify after copying
Privacy
No account, no telemetry

Try it for 14 days.

Everything included, no account, no card. Afterwards Tern Files stays a complete file manager – Pro unlocks the rest once.
