Core Capabilities

BUILT FOR
POWER USERS

Everything Windows Explorer should have been — plus a full productivity suite. No accounts. No subscriptions. No telemetry.

Full File Access
Browse, open, copy, move, rename, and delete any file or folder on your system. List view and grid view. Sortable by name, size, type, or date.
Drag & Drop
Drag files between folders to move them. Drag onto Quick Access entries to copy there instantly. Everything works exactly as you'd expect — but better.
Instant Preview
Select any file and see a live preview in the bottom panel — images render inline, text files show with syntax context, and you can click to open a full modal.
Bookmarks & Quick Access
Bookmark any folder with a custom name and emoji or Lucide icon. Right-click to rename, change icon, or delete. System folders like Desktop, Downloads, and Documents are pinned by default.
Drive Browser
All drive letters on your system are auto-detected and listed in the sidebar. USB drive plugged in? It shows up automatically. Click once to navigate to any drive root.
Activity Log
A real-time log panel captures every action — navigation, file operations, errors — with timestamps. Resize it, keep it open while working, or collapse it when you need space.
Persistent Storage
All settings, bookmarks, and workspace data are saved to local JSON files (settings.json and notes.json). Browser cache cleared? Data stays intact.
Resizable Panels
Drag any panel edge to resize: sidebar width, bottom panel height, log pane width. Collapse the sidebar to icon-only mode to maximize file space. All sizes remembered on reload.
File Linking to Workspace
Right-click any file → "Link to Workspace" to embed it as a clickable block directly in your current note or project. Bridge the gap between your files and your work.
Built-in Workspace

NOTION.
IN YOUR FILES.

No more switching between your file manager and a note-taking app. Fileure's Workspace brings boards, tables, and rich notes directly alongside your files.

Installation

UP IN
2 MINUTES

No npm install. No package.json. No build step. Just two files and a single command.

1
Install Node.js
Fileure runs on a tiny local Node.js server — no framework, no dependencies, only Node's built-in modules. If you don't have Node.js yet, download it from the official site:

→ nodejs.org/en/download

Install it, and you're ready. Any version from Node 14 onwards works perfectly.
2
Download the files
Go to the GitHub repository and download the fileure folder. You only need two files: index.html and server.js. Save them together in any folder you like — e.g. C:\fileure\
3
Open a terminal in the folder
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to your fileure folder. Click into the address bar at the top of the window, type cmd, and press Enter. A Command Prompt window will open already inside the correct directory.
4
Start the server
In the terminal, run:
bash 
$ node server.js
You'll see a confirmation message in the terminal. The server is now running on port 3000.
5
Open in your browser
Navigate to:
url 
http://localhost:3000
That's it. Fileure is running. To stop it, press Ctrl+C in the terminal.
★
Optional: Desktop shortcut (Windows)
Never open a terminal manually again. Create a .bat file to launch Fileure with one double-click:
fileure.bat 
@echo off
cd /d "C:\path\to\your\fileure\folder"
start http://localhost:3000
node server.js
pause
Pro tip: Add a custom icon
Download an icon from lucide.dev (try folder-tree), convert to .ico at convertio.co, then set it in the shortcut's Properties → Change Icon.
