In the works

Files.

A file manager where you never file. Drop anything in: Roxy reads it, gives it a real name and puts it where it belongs. Find it by asking, hand it to the crew, and it turns up when you need it.

Six came in this morning. I named them and put them away.

Working demo

Try it. Drop something in.

A morning’s things, already read and put away. Open one to see what Roxy made of it. Drop in a scan, a photo or a voice note and watch it named and shelved, or drop in a file of your own. Then ask for something, or drag a thing onto one of the crew. It’s a demo of the design: Files itself is in the works.

Four ways in 3 of 14

Four ways in

You never go looking in folders.

There’s no tree of folders to climb. Things come in and put themselves away; you ask for what you want; you hand things on; and the right thing turns up when you need it.

Five facts 4 of 14

Five facts

Every thing knows five things about itself.

A folder asks you to decide where something lives before you’ve used it. In Files, nothing lives in one place. Each thing carries what it says, where it came from, its shelves, who can see it and every version of it.

Ask, don’t search 5 of 14 · Example

Ask, don’t search

A question gets an answer, with its workings.

You don’t need the file’s name, or where it went. Ask the way you’d ask a person. Roxy answers, shows how she found it, and lists what it came from, so you can check.

An example: the answers are about Alex’s pottery, Kiln & Co.

What did clay cost this year?
  1. Looked on Money and Kiln & Co: 192 things
  2. Read 12 receipts that mention clay
  3. Left out 2 refunds, and a kiln shelf that isn’t clay
  4. Added up the other 9

Hand it to 6 of 14

Hand it to

Give a thing to one of the crew.

Only Roxy reads what comes in. Hand a thing to one of the crew and they get a key to that one thing, and say what they’ll do with it. Take it back and the key goes with it.

Printed at A3, posted to you by Friday. Not to Mum.

Atlas has a key to this one thing. Nothing else.

Keys 7 of 14

Keys

Who can see what, in plain words.

Only Roxy reads what comes in, to file it. The rest of the crew see a shelf only if you give them a key, and you can take it back. People get links that close. Sealed things, no one reads.

The path 8 of 14

The path

Every change keeps the last.

Whoever changes a thing, you or the crew, in whichever app, the last version stays on its path. Go back to any of them and carry on from there: it starts a branch, and nothing is lost. Takes are something else: a few tries made side by side, so you can choose.

Black and whiteFrom version 2, on a branch. Nothing lost.

Mum’s birthday print · made in Imago

Drafts you never kept

Nothing goes without a word first.

What the crew makes for you is a draft until you keep it. A draft you never kept moves to Set aside after 30 days, and Roxy tells you a week before. It’s let go only after 60.

  1. Day 0MadeEasel’s three takes of the spring poster
  2. Day 23Roxy tells you“Three drafts move to Set aside in a week. Keep any?”

Habits 9 of 14

Habits

It files itself, the way you like.

A habit is a sentence. Change a word and the habit changes. When Roxy notices you doing the same thing three times, she asks whether it should be a habit, and every habit keeps a log you can undo.

Across your apps 10 of 14

Across your apps

Every app saves here, and opens from here.

No app keeps its own pile. A photo from Kin, a take from Easel, a build from Harness: each lands in Files with its path, and opens again in the app that made it. The crew pick things up from here.

On your phone 11 of 14

On your phone

Built for the desktop. With you on the phone.

Files is made for a big screen first: shelves, paths, keys, everything at once. On your phone it does what a phone is for: you snap something and it’s filed, and the right thing turns up at the right moment.

Snap it. A receipt, a letter, a ticket: point the camera and it’s read, named and filed. Roxy asks who it’s for, already knowing.
It turns up. The boarding pass two hours before you board. The lease before it renews. You don’t go looking.
What comes first 12 of 14

What comes first

First the loop. Then the rest, in turn.

Files is in the works, and none of it is in yourOS yet. This is the order it’s planned in: what the first release does, what follows soon after, and the ideas we’re keeping for later.

First12

In the first release.

The loop: drop it in, it’s read and put away, ask for it, hand it on. With keys from day one, because the crew reads your things.

  • Real namesEvery thing gets a name you’d give it. The file name stays underneath.
  • Just inDrop anything in. Roxy reads it, names it and shelves it, and asks when unsure.
  • Roxy’s readThe gist and the facts for papers; dates and places for photos.
  • ShelvesThey fill themselves, and you make your own with a sentence.
  • AskAnswers, with the things they came from.
  • Hand it toDrag or tap to give a thing to one of the crew, with its own key.
  • Keys and SealedOnly Roxy reads new things. Sealed things, no agent reads.
  • The pathEvery change keeps the last.
  • MadeWhat the crew made, by job. Unkept drafts move to Set aside.
  • Every app saves hereImago, Easel, Fold, Kin and Harness.
  • HabitsIn sentences, with a log you can undo.
  • Waiting forWhat you’re owed, filed the moment it lands.
Soon after9

Once the first is in use.

Each builds on the first: things that turn up on time, keys with dates, branches, lists that fill.

  • It turns upPasses before you board; the lease before it renews.
  • Hidden untilKeys with a date on them, like a birthday surprise.
  • Links that closeA link for Priya that closes when she files.
  • BranchesGo back to any version and carry on from there.
  • Lists that fillTax 2026 shows what Priya still needs.
  • Learned habits“You did this three times. Shall I always?”
  • Ask for itRoxy asks someone for a file, and it files itself.
  • Films in chaptersLong videos split where things change.
  • Ask the thingOpen the lease and ask it a question.
Worth keeping7

Further out.

Good ideas we’re keeping for later, when there’s more trust, more room and more to connect.

Questions 13 of 14

FAQ

Questions, answered.

The short answers to what people ask us most.

What is Files?

A file manager where you never file. Drop anything in, from a scan to a song, and Roxy reads it, gives it a real name and puts it on the shelves it belongs on. You find things by asking, you hand them to the crew, and the right thing turns up when you need it.

Can I use Files now?

Not yet. Files is in the works: we’re designing it now, and this page shows where it’s heading. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear when it’s ready.

Do I have to organise anything?

No. Shelves fill themselves: a trip, a job, a person. A thing can sit on more than one, and you can make your own shelf with a sentence. The name your camera or scanner gave a file stays underneath, so nothing is lost.

Who can see my files?

Only Roxy, who reads new things to file them. The rest of the crew see a thing only when you hand it to them, or give them a key to a shelf, and you can take it back. People get links that close on a date. Sealed things, like your passport, no agent reads at all.

Does anything get deleted?

Not without a word first. Every change keeps the last version, so you can go back. Drafts the crew made that you never kept move to Set aside after 30 days, and Roxy tells you a week before. Set aside keeps them another 30 days.

Can I try it with my own files?

Yes, in the demo on this page. Your file never leaves your browser: nothing is uploaded, the demo reads only its name, kind, size and date, and it’s gone when you leave the page.

Does it work on my phone?

Files is made for the desktop first. On your phone you snap something and it’s filed, find things by asking, and get what turns up at the right moment, like a boarding pass before you board.
