Why FlowVision

A browser that keeps up with your folders.

FlowVision focuses on the daily details that make image browsing feel immediate: layout, navigation, zoom quality, file operations, and video preview.

Large-folder performance

Optimized loading and thumbnails keep browsing responsive in directories with many files.

Finder-style file management

Move, copy, cut, delete, rename, tag, rate, and organize files while staying inside the viewer.

Local-first by design.

FlowVision does not collect user data and does not send your local files anywhere. The project is open source under GPL-3.0.

Screenshots

Built around real browsing tasks.
