Rain Explorer v1.1.1 — out now!

A File Explorer That Actually Looks Good

Rain Explorer is my take on a file manager that's actually nice to use — fast, clean, and with the same glassy look as everything else on Sail Hub. Fully self-contained, no .NET install needed.

What it does

The core features in v1.1.1, with more on the way.

Fast Navigation

Jump between folders instantly — snappy loading, keyboard shortcuts, real Windows file icons, and a clean breadcrumb path that stays out of your way.

Tabbed Browsing

Open a bunch of folders in tabs at once, so you can drag stuff around and compare things without losing your spot.

Instant Search

Hit Ctrl+F and find files as you type, with a subfolder toggle for when you need to dig deeper. No slow index to wait on.

File Previews

Peek at images, text and more right inside the window — no need to open a whole other app just to see what something is.

Customizable Sidebar

Pin your favourite folders into custom lists, drag them into the order you want, and collapse sections that remember their state.

Built-in Archives

Open .rar, .7z, .tar, .gz and .bz2 archives right in the app — plus jump straight to cmd, PowerShell or bash from the address bar.

Tab Projects & Groups

Save a whole workspace as a project, organize related folders into tab groups, and move tabs between panes or windows without losing your place.

Undo & Redo

Undo and redo moves, renames, new files, archive actions, and Recycle Bin changes with the title-bar controls or familiar keyboard shortcuts.

Git & GitHub Tools

Initialize repositories, clone GitHub projects, review changes, stage files, create commits, manage local branches, push updates, and open the remote repository.

Split Panes & Restoration

Browse side by side when you need it, then come back to the same tabs, panes, window placement, and workspace after restarting.
