Features

Major features:

• Smart global search: Finds files and folders in seconds (searches full 1TB drive in ~2 seconds). Its typo correction system handles typos, wrong case, wrong word order, missing words, missing symbols, and missing file extension.
• Tabs: Keep multiple directories open and switch between them instantly.
• Split view: Any tab can be splitted into 2 panes which you can navigate indipendently and transfer files between them easily.
• Extensions and marketplace: Install extensions from the built-in marketplace or local folders. Extensions can add commands, pages, shortcuts, settings, and more.
• Default file manager: On Windows, Sigma can replace File Explorer for most everyday file actions.
• LAN file sharing: Share or stream files and folders over your local network, with browser access, QR codes, and FTP support.
• Network locations (Alpha stage): Connect to remote locations such as SSHFS, NFS, SMB, and CIFS.
• Address bar: Navigate with the keyboard, autocomplete paths, and quickly jump to parent folders.
• Item filter: Narrow large folders with glob patterns and property filters for size, dates, MIME type, and more.
• Smart drag and drop: Move or copy local files more comfortably, and handle web drops more smoothly.
• Shortcuts and command palette: Most actions are keyboard-friendly, with global shortcuts and a fast command palette for app and extension commands.
• Home banner and visual effects: Personalize the UI with custom images, videos, built-in artwork, transparency, blend modes, and other style controls.
• Dashboard and quick access: Reach favorites, tagged files, most visited locations, and history data from one central area.
• Tags: Organize your files and folders with tags.
• Zip archives: Compress files into .zip archives and extract them without leaving the app.
• In-app updates: Download and install updates directly from update notifications.

The funding will be used for funding the development of this and my other big projects. I'm also working in collaboration with a few universities on a project that will help scientists speed up development of new medications and treatments for diseases, reducing the time need to find a new medication from 10 years (current average) to just a few months, and hopefully help humanity get rid of diseases (the project will be open-sourced later);
