🖱️ OS Context Menu Integration
- Right-Click to Share: We've introduced native system context menu support! By running the new command
ffl shell --install(and--uninstallto remove), you can integrateffldirectly into your operating system's right-click menu. - This allows you to instantly right-click any file on your desktop and quickly choose from standard sharing, single-download restrictions, or End-to-End Encrypted sharing without ever opening a terminal.
🖼️ Web Preview Upgrades
- Gallery Navigation: Browsing folders just got much smoother. You can now use your keyboard's Left/Right arrow keys to quickly flip through previewable files. We've also added intuitive
<and>navigation buttons directly to the Web UI. - Optimized Video Player: Fixed an issue regarding the default display dimensions of the video player in the preview mode. Videos now load at a much more comfortable, natural viewing size.
🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability

upgradecommand would fail on Windows. Previously, the system could not overwrite the currently running executable to complete the update process.fflnow handles self-replacement on Windows flawlessly.
Windows (native)
- x86_64 →
ffl-v3.9.11-x86_64-windows.zip
Unzip to getffl.exe.
Linux (native)
We publish two glibc baselines. Pick the highest baseline that does not exceed your system glibc:
-
glibc 2.39+ — smaller & faster
ffl-v3.9.11-manylinux_glibc2.39-x86_64-linux.tar.gz- Best for newer distros (e.g., Ubuntu 24).
-
glibc 2.28+ — widest compatibility
ffl-v3.9.11-manylinux_glibc2.28-x86_64-linux.tar.gz- Works on older distros (e.g., Ubuntu 20); larger due to additional internal linking.
⚠️ If your system is musl-based (e.g., Alpine) or you’re unsure about glibc, prefer APEffl.com.
macOS (native)
- Apple Silicon (arm64) →
ffl-v3.9.11-aarch-darwin.tar.gz - Intel (x86_64) →
ffl-v3.9.11-x86_64-darwin.tar.gz
The archive unpacks to a single ffl binary.
🧰 APE (cross-platform single file, zero external deps)
ffl.com— Single-file build that runs natively on Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD 7.3, NetBSD, BIOS, and Android (Termux).fflo.com— Alternative APE build that is exactly aligned with the open-source repo (no additional/proprietary addons).
As a result, features that require closed-source components—such as upload to server (e.g.,--upload)—are not available.
For a deeper comparison between native and APE, see the README’s notes.
