FileNest 0.1.1

FileNest 0.1.1

FileNest 0.1.1 replaces the original dashboard treatment with a distinctive desktop-native file-care workspace while preserving the same local-first safety boundaries.

Interface redesign

• Warm editorial canvas with a horizontal desktop command switcher
• Asymmetric home composition with a visual storage orbit, selected-place list, cleanup queue, and file cabinet
• Clearer scan, duplicate-review, cleanup-approval, activity, search, and settings hierarchy
• Expandable duplicate-path disclosure instead of a non-functional inspection affordance
• Three-step cleanup-plan explanation covering suggestions, explicit selection, and local journaling
• Improved compact-window containment, navigation, focus states, settings density, and path readability
• Complete fictional-data screenshot gallery for the public repository

Verified behavior

• 20 Rust filesystem and persistence tests
• 8 frontend interaction tests
• 93.33% frontend line coverage
• Strict Rust Clippy with warnings denied
• Full scan → plan → approved move → journal → integrity-checked undo lifecycle smoke
• Windows NSIS installer build, silent install, responsive launch, truthful empty packaged state, and silent uninstall
• npm audit completed with zero vulnerabilities
• Windows-target Cargo audit completed without a vulnerability failure

Windows download

FileNest_0.1.1_x64-setup.exe is an unsigned Windows x64 NSIS installer. Verify it with the attached .sha256 sidecar before running it.

SHA-256: 6d2d0b9c69b31ccc9bfff82a766f2b65ce8f737f8fcd591a05c9cc8c1f9d515b

Important limitations

• The installer is not code-signed and may trigger SmartScreen or an unknown-publisher warning.
• File mutation is Windows same-volume rename only. Cross-volume actions are refused.
• FileNest has no upload, telemetry, or network client, but cloud-sync providers still control hydration and synchronization for folders users choose to scan.
• Screenshots use fictional browser-demo data. The packaged desktop starts empty.

FileNest 0.1.0

FileNest 0.1.0

FileNest is a privacy-first Windows desktop organizer that scans only folders you select, builds an explicit move-only cleanup plan, and records approved operations in a local SQLite journal for integrity-checked undo.

Highlights

• Read-only selected-folder scanning with no symlink traversal
• Exact duplicate detection using size-first, streaming BLAKE3 hashing
• Stale, large-file, installer, archive, screenshot, and organization insights
• Explicit move-only cleanup plans with destination-conflict protection
• Root-bound operation journal, conservative restart recovery, and verified undo
• Unicode and Arabic filename support plus local SQLite FTS5 search
• React/TypeScript interface packaged with Tauri 2 and Rust

Verified evidence

• 20 Rust tests and 8 frontend tests passed locally
• Fresh-clone frontend, Rust, lifecycle, benchmark-smoke, and NSIS packaging workflow passed
• Windows installer installed silently, launched responsively, initialized with zero demo rows, and uninstalled cleanly
• Synthetic in-process scanner benchmark: median 5,042 files/second across five runs on 10,000 generated files

Important limitations

• The installer is not code-signed, so Windows may show a publisher or SmartScreen warning.
• Cross-volume cleanup actions are refused rather than emulated through a risky copy/delete fallback.
• OneDrive and other synchronized folders remain subject to provider-controlled hydration and synchronization.
• The benchmark uses generated small files and is not an end-to-end or real-world storage claim.

Verify the installer using the attached .sha256 file before running it.
