## What is Filewise?

Filewise brings a familiar desktop-style file manager to iPhone, iPad and Mac.

FIND YOUR WAY AROUND
• A navigation pane with Quick access folders and an expandable folder tree
• An address bar that shows exactly where you are. Tap any part to jump back, or the › arrows to jump into a subfolder
• Back, Forward and Up buttons, plus search across every subfolder

SEE YOUR FILES YOUR WAY
• Details view with sortable Name, Date modified, Type and Size columns
• Medium and large icon views with real thumbnails for photos, videos and PDFs
• Tap to highlight, or choose Select multiple to tick several items at once

GET THINGS DONE
• Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename, Delete and Share from a single command bar
• Move to and Copy to, with your recent folders one tap away, or a folder tree to pick anywhere
• When names clash, choose Replace, Skip or Keep both. Replacing a folder merges it with the existing one
• Compress to ZIP and Extract all, with clean results even from zips made on a Mac
• Properties for any file or folder, including total folder size
• A built-in text editor for notes and plain-text files
• Deleted items go to the Bin, where you can restore them to where they came from

ALL YOUR STORAGE
• Add iCloud Drive, folders on your device, USB drives, SD cards and other storage apps as Locations, and browse them in the same window
• Connect to file servers: shared folders on Windows PCs and Macs and NAS boxes (using the system's built-in SMB support), plus WebDAV servers such as Synology, QNAP and Nextcloud, directly in Filewise
• Copy and move between your device and your servers, with the same Replace / Skip / Keep both choices
• Cloud files are marked and download when you open them

BUILT FOR iPAD AND MAC
• A full menu bar and keyboard shortcuts: ⌘C, ⌘X, ⌘V, ⌘A, ⇧⌘N for a new folder, ⌘F to search, ⌘[ and ⌘] for back and forward
• Pointer hover effects and right-click menus
• On Mac: browse your own folders, ⌘-click and ⇧-click to select, deleted items go to the Trash, and files open in their usual apps
• Buy once, use it on iPhone, iPad and Mac

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Filewise collects no data at all. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your files never leave your device or the storage you choose.
