A powerful Finder-style file manager. Browse folders, organize files, preview documents, and manage your storage with ease.
FileBuddy is a powerful and easy-to-use file manager. Inspired by the simplicity and efficiency of the macOS Finder, FileBuddy helps you organize, browse, and manage your files in a clean and intuitive environment. Whether you are working with documents, images, or project folders, FileBuddy provides the tools you need to stay organized and productive.
Managing files on iPad should be simple, secure, and efficient. FileBuddy was built with exactly that goal in mind. The interface is designed to be clear and easy to navigate, allowing you to move through folders quickly and keep your files structured without unnecessary complexity.
With FileBuddy you can browse folders, open files, move documents between directories, copy and duplicate files, and remove items you no longer need. Creating new folders and organizing projects becomes effortless. The app helps you maintain a clean file structure and gives you full control over your workspace.
The layout of FileBuddy is optimized for the iPad screen. A sidebar allows quick navigation between folders and locations, while the main browser displays your files in a clear list or icon view. A built-in inspector panel shows detailed information about selected files, including name, type, size, modification date, and location. This makes it easy to understand and manage your files without leaving the current view.
FileBuddy also includes thumbnail previews for supported file types such as images and documents. Instead of relying only on file names, you can visually identify files while browsing through folders. This helps you locate the right files faster, especially when working with media or large collections of documents.
The application is designed to work smoothly on all iPad models. The interface automatically adapts to different screen sizes and multitasking modes, including Split View and Stage Manager. This ensures that the file browser remains readable and well organized regardless of how you use your device.
Privacy and security are important principles behind FileBuddy. The app does not collect personal information and does not track users. All file operations take place locally on your device and only within folders that you choose to grant access to. Your files remain under your control at all times.
FileBuddy focuses on being simple, secure, space-efficient, and effective. The lightweight design keeps the app fast while providing powerful file management features that help you stay organized.
