Faster Windows file manager for huge folders with Column View

Product demo video

Hey guys,

I started Filesmash because I felt Windows file browsing could be faster, more focused and less frustrating for everyday work. The app build with native C++ and raw win32 api to focused on speed, smooth navigation and a cleaner file management experience. (no web-based app, no Electron)

Features includes Column View, Fast Search, Quick Preview, phone/device browsing, better thumbnails and deeper control over the right-click menu, including the ability to pin the shell actions you actually use.

I’m sharing it here to get feedback from Windows users and app enthusiasts. I’d love to hear what feels useful, what feels broken, and what you’d expect from a modern Windows file manager.

Filesmash - Column view File Browser and one toggle to turn back classic context menu.

I’m working on a Windows file manager and wanted to share an early look at the current interaction model.

It supports column browsing, multi-keyword search, grid/detail/column views, and automatic file preview when selecting items. The goal is to make browsing large folders feel fast and smooth.

I’m also testing a simplified context menu with quick file actions. It can be switched back to the classic menu with one toggle and the quick actions adapt to the cursor position.

Still work in progress. I’d like feedback on the interaction, layout, and whether this feels natural for a Windows file manager.

Filesmash - Column view File Browser and more

I’m working on a Windows file manager that feels more seamless than Explorer
This is still work in progress, I’m sharing an early look at the current interaction model: browse with columns, search with multiple keywords, switch grid/detail views, and preview files automatically when selected. Everything should be fast and smoothly, instantly.
I’m sharing this early to get feedback before the first public build.
