Alpha v0.1
Pre-releaseinit /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.

✦ 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
