fman is a dual-pane file manager for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is extensible, supporting custom plug-ins for customization.[1] The developer gives an "open-source promise", meaning, should he stop development of the app, he will open-source the source code.[2] Licenses cost $18, updates are offered as a subscription for $12/year.[2] fman is actively developed by its creator Michael Herrmann.[3]

Reception

Softpedia rated fman as 3 out of 5 stars, describing the app as extensible via plugins but "minimalistic".[4]

TechRepublic highlighted fman's focus on keyboard shortcuts and described it as "intriguing and worthy of continued use".[5]

During its launch, fman appeared in the top 10 of Product Hunt.[6] The CTO of Product Hunt expressed his happiness about the project.[7] Other people criticised that fman is not open source and pointed to free alternatives such as Midnight Commander and Far Manager.[8]
