Description
While there are several robust file managers available, many do not adhere to Material Design principles. Even those that claim to follow Material Design often exhibit various minor design imperfections, such as issues with layout, alignment, padding, icons, and fonts, which can create discomfort for users like me, though these flaws might not bother everyone enough to seek out a solution. This dissatisfaction ultimately led me to develop my own file manager. Additionally, numerous popular and trustworthy file managers are closed-source, and while I occasionally use them to access and modify files requiring root permissions, I find myself feeling uneasy about granting any closed-source application such extensive access to my device. After all, this device contains a wealth of personal information, and the level of trust is solely based on the developers' intentions. Therefore, it's crucial to prioritize transparency when it comes to access rights within applications.
