Fileside

Fileside provides a multi‑pane interface that lets users arrange folders side‑by‑side within a single window, creating workspaces that persist across sessions. It supports custom layouts for different projects, inline previews of images, video, audio, text and other file types, and a recursive search that operates breadth‑first. Users can bookmark favourites, navigate history with keyboard shortcuts, and merge folders using selectable conflict‑resolution strategies.

The application is built for desktop environments on macOS and Windows, emphasizing keyboard‑driven control and configurable shortcuts. All file‑system actions are fully undoable and redoable, and the UI offers both light and dark themes to match user preference.

Designed to reduce the mental effort of locating files, Fileside aims to keep relevant folders readily accessible, allowing rapid re‑organisation without opening multiple windows or relying on external recommendations.
