You are sovereign
Local-first by default. No account, no telemetry, no lock-in. Your files stay in their original locations.
About WingDrive
A file manager that treats every drive you own as one library, and treats you as the owner of your data.
The story
Our files are scattered: a laptop SSD, an external disk in a drawer, a phone, a couple of cloud accounts. Each place has its own app, its own search and its own idea of what a file is.
WingDrive puts a fast index on top of all of them. Files never move unless you move them. The index lives on your machine, recognizes the same file wherever it is, and travels only between devices you paired yourself.
The first goal is humble and concrete: to be a file manager good enough to be your default on Linux. Everything else, from device sync to semantic search, is built on that foundation.
Principles
Content is king
WingDrive understands what a file is, not only where it is, so duplicates and copies across devices make sense.
Never lose data
Destructive operations are guarded, copies are atomic, and undo exists for the moves you regret.
Open by default
Apache-2.0, built in the open, with the roadmap and every sprint published in the repository.
Who builds it
WingDrive is built in the open by Bernardo Gomes, its author and maintainer. Bug reports, ideas and pull requests are welcome, and sponsorships keep the project moving.
