Rift 0.7.0

The first public release of Rift, a fast file manager for Windows with tabs and side-by-side panes.

Download

Unzip rift-0.7.0-win-x64.zip anywhere and run Rift.exe. Windows 10 or 11, x64; no .NET install needed.
The exe isn't signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn on the first start: "More info" → "Run anyway".

To add "Open in Rift" to Explorer's menu, turn it on in Settings (Ctrl+,) or run Rift.exe --register-shell.

New in 0.7

• Native AOT build: the window shows in about 0.3 s instead of 1.25 s and Rift uses about 106 MB of memory instead of 190 MB
• Copies go through CopyFile2: about 1.8× faster for large files, and alternate data streams are kept

What's in it

• Any number of panes in vertical and horizontal splits, each with its own tabs and history; workspaces; the session comes back after a restart
• Copy and move between panes (F5 / F6), drag-n-drop (also with Explorer), clipboard compatible with Explorer
• Operations panel with progress, pause and cancel; conflict dialog; undo for copy, move, rename, new folder and delete
• Explorer's own right-click menu (7-Zip, Git, "Send to", …), system icons, Properties, "Open with", Recycle Bin
• Details, tiles and thumbnail views; preview pane; type-to-filter; recursive search; command palette (Ctrl+K)
• Settings: dark, light or as in Windows; accent colors; tags; custom shortcuts; English and Russian UI
