init /files — v0.1 Alpha
First public build. init /files is a file explorer for Nothing OS and other minimal, industrial-design-first Android experiences — built dark-first (or pure white in light mode), monospace-native, and free of the leftover UI most stock file managers ship with. This is an early alpha: core functionality is in and working, but expect rough edges as the app matures.
com.init.files · versionName: 0.1-alpha · versionCode: 1


✦ Nothing OS Design Language
• OLED pitch-black dark mode / pure white light mode, matched to the mode-specific animation assets
• Michroma for headings, top bars, and section labels; JetBrains Mono for paths, byte sizes, timestamps, and search
• Consistent lowercase styling across every screen
• Dot-matrix grids, 1dp mechanical outline borders, and 18-segment progress bars
• Custom startup + loading animations for both dark and light mode
• Fluid 120Hz navigation with custom cubic-bezier shared-axis transitions
✦ File Explorer & Navigation
• List and grid view modes with instant toggle
• Sort by name, size, date modified, or type (asc/desc)
• Tappable breadcrumb navigation
• Copy, move, rename, delete, pin/unpin, share, and APK install — all async
• Zip compression and 1-tap extraction, with conflict resolution (overwrite / rename / skip)
• Multi-select batch actions via floating action bar
• Toggle to show/hide hidden files and dotfiles
✦ Built-In Viewers
• PDF reader — continuous scroll, zoom/pan, page counter
• Video player — ExoPlayer-backed, custom scrubber, ±10s skip, fit/fill toggle
• Image viewer — pinch-to-zoom, pan, rotation, dimension badge
• Docs/code reader — line-numbered monospace viewer, word-wrap toggle, copy to clipboard
• Technical attributes inspector — SHA-256, MD5, Unix permissions, byte size, MIME type
✦ Storage Analyzer & Cleaner
• Visual storage breakdown by category
• Largest files (>100MB) and largest folders, ranked
• Safe junk/cache cleaner — purged items route to Trash, not deleted outright
✦ Trash (30-Day Auto-Purge)
• Deleted/purged files staged in hidden /.init_trash/
• Automatic purge of anything older than 30 days
• Per-item expiry countdown badges
• Batch and single restore, or empty trash entirely
✦ Navigation Drawer & Quick Access
• Interactive storage usage bar with tap-to-browse progress dots
• Quick category shortcuts, pinned folders, and recent files
• Real-time search with category chip filters and search history
✦ Settings
• Dark / Light / Follow System theming
• Background indexer with manual rescan
• Links to the website and Discord


Known Limitations
This is an alpha build — while the feature set above is implemented, expect bugs, edge-case crashes, and rough UX in places as this is tested more broadly across devices.
Installation

  1. Download the .apk from the assets below
  2. Enable "Install from unknown sources" if prompted
  3. Install and launch

⚠️ Back up important files before testing destructive operations (delete, move, batch actions) during alpha testing.
