Open Source Unix Shell File Managers

DocFetcher is an Open Source desktop search application: It allows you to search the contents of files on your computer. — You can think of it as Google for your local files. The application runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

adb-sync is a command-line utility designed to synchronize files between a PC and an Android device over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). It simplifies the process of transferring and mirroring directories without requiring root access or complex configuration. By comparing file states between the host and the device, adb-sync efficiently updates only changed files, reducing transfer time and bandwidth usage. The tool also supports reverse synchronization, allowing users to copy data from an Android device back to their PC. While this project has been deprecated in favor of better-adb-sync, it remains a lightweight and effective option for managing file transfers and backups over USB debugging connections.

Grsync is used to synchronize folders, files and make backups. It is a rsync GUI (Graphical User Interface).

AI File Sorter is a cross-platform desktop application that uses AI to organize files and suggest meaningful file names based on real content, not just filenames or extensions. The app can analyze image files locally and propose human-readable rename suggestions (for example, IMG_2048.jpg → clouds_over_lake.jpg). It can also analyze the text content of documents to improve categorization and renaming. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and common text files. All suggestions are optional and must be reviewed before being applied. AI File Sorter helps clean up cluttered folders such as Downloads, external drives, or NAS storage. It can run fully offline using local AI models like Mistral 7B or LLaMA 3B. No files, images, document contents, or metadata are uploaded, and no telemetry is sent unless a remote AI endpoint is explicitly configured.

Modern android devices don't use anymore Mass Storage Mode. Instead they use the internal sdcard as a virtually mounted subfolder inside /data partition. It would be ok if MTP preserved correctly timestamps, which doesn't. Other options that could work, like FTP with MFMT command doesn't work properly on android either. Droid Explorer is enough for files, but doesn't support folders. This handy bash script helps you to backup and restore the last modified timestamp for folders recursively. If you want to use an android native app, there's File Timestamp, however the txt format is different. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.pogsoftwares.filetimestamp

FEPANA renames files.

Locates files on your computer or network. Like locate on steroids. Indexes not only all the files in your filesystems, but also those inside archives, filesystem images, and disk images as well. NOTE: For full functionality (reading partitions inside disk images, for example), the project "procb" is also required. There has been a tremendous amount of work done on this project (years, including lots of new filetypes) that has yet to be well-tested, cleaned up and uploaded, so please be patient and occasionally check back. NOTE: command line syntax and parameters have changed in newer versions significantly, to incorporate easy searches and easier database (flat file) creation.

For each File lets you run an arbitrary set of GNU BASH commands upon an arbitrary set of objects. The author often uses it to perform repetitive tasks such as renaming, extracting, moving, and manipulating a large number of files.
