fman is a dual-pane file manager for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is extensible, supporting custom plug-ins for customization.[1] The developer gave an "open-source promise", meaning, should he stop development of the app, he will open-source the source code.[2] Nevertheless, this promise got removed in the meantime and no new releases nor the source code were published since that. Thus, it may be considered as broken.
Reception[edit]
Softpedia rated fman as 3 out of 5 stars, describing the app as extensible via plugins but "minimalistic".[3]
TechRepublic highlighted fman's focus on keyboard shortcuts and described it as "intriguing and worthy of continued use".[4]
During its launch, fman appeared in the top 10 of Product Hunt.[5] The CTO of Product Hunt expressed his happiness about the project.[6] Other people criticised that fman is not open source and pointed to free alternatives such as Midnight Commander and Far Manager.[7]
