v0.1 Now on macOS, Windows & Linux

Your files have a shape.

Fruckt draws your disk as a wheel. Folders keep their place, their colour and their neighbours — so you find things the way you find a street you've walked before.

Why radial

Lists make you read. A wheel lets you remember.

Every folder gets a fixed angle, a stable hue and a ring for its depth. After a week you'll reach for things without looking.

Fly in, fly out

Double-click an arc to make it the centre of the wheel. Click the centre to go back up. The animation keeps your bearings.

Pin to its spot

Pinned folders sit first in their ring, marked with a star. Colours are assigned once and kept forever — a place is a colour.

Search that shows where

Type to dim everything that doesn't match. Press Enter for a deep search, click a result to fly straight to it.

Size at a glance

One click computes a folder's real size, streamed as it scans, so you can see what's eating your disk.

Lens mode

Press z and the wheel becomes a map: scroll to magnify, drag to pan, without losing your place.

Compare two folders

Dock a second panel and Fruckt badges what's shared and what's only here — handy for backups and duplicate hunts.

See it move

Seventy seconds, no narration needed.

How it works

Install it, open it, forget the tree view.

Open a drive

Fruckt starts at "This Mac" (or "This PC") with every drive and volume on the first ring. Nothing to configure.

Fly around

Double-click to dive, scroll to ride a branch, Backspace to climb. Frequently used places glow a little brighter.

Act on files

Right-click any arc to open, reveal in Finder or Explorer, copy the path, compare or pin. Fruckt never moves or deletes anything itself.

Built to be trusted

Read-only by design.

Fruckt is a way of seeing your files, not another place to lose them. It reads, it draws, it hands off to your system when you want to act.

  • No writes, ever. There is no move, rename or delete in Fruckt.
  • Protected folders stay protected. System paths you can't read are shown dimmed, not forced open.
  • Offline and local. Your pins and colours live in one small JSON file on your machine. Nothing leaves it.
  • Native on three platforms. Built with NativePHP for macOS, Windows and Linux.
FAQ

Questions people ask.

Does it replace Finder or Explorer?

No. Fruckt is for finding and understanding. When you want to act, right-click and it hands the file to your system's file manager or default app.

What happens with huge folders?

Rings cap at 2,000 items and the tree at 15,000 nodes per view; the remainder is summarised in an overflow arc you can expand. Size scans stream progress so you can cancel any time.

Does it touch my files?

Never. There is no code path in Fruckt that writes to your filesystem, apart from its own small settings file.

Which platforms?

macOS (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows 10/11 and Linux (AppImage/deb). Same wheel, same shortcuts.
