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 was removed in the meantime and no new releases nor the source code have been published since then. Thus, it may be considered as broken.
Reception
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]
