Twig

One tree, every source

Browse local storage, archives, FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, S3, restic and Jellyfin/Emby. Copy or compress across sources. Archives expand in place.

Small and resource-conscious

The 1.18.0 libre APK measures 10.88 MiB for arm64-v8a and x86_64 together, including the terminal and media player.

Features

• Single/dual panes in either orientation; reorder roots, favorites, websites and actions; OLED theme, folder counts, Unix permissions and per-folder views


• Choose copy/move targets in the opposite pane; numbered duplicates; background transfers, retry and resume; local trash with batch restore/purge


• Dual-pane file picking and shared file/text saving; cache remote selections and shares


• Batch rename with text/regex replacement, numbering and previews


• Read/create encrypted ZIP/7z; compression levels, optional 7z name encryption and saving beside sources; browse tar and gz/xz/bz2/zst


• Folder compare and sync between any two sources


• SQLite tables in the tree: search, sort, filter, read-only SQL, BLOB hex previews and CSV export


• Disk usage treemap with pinch zoom; bottom toolbar, Back navigation/exit choices, completion vibration and foreground notifications


• Private space excluded from backups and configuration exports; files are deleted when Twig is uninstalled


• Text editing with syntax highlighting and original encoding; hex, PDF (passwords on Android 15+), SVG, image and media viewers; GIF/animated WebP on Android 9+; image selection sync; subtitle size/color and video control auto-hide


• Music playlists, M3U/folder imports, synced lyrics and background playback


• Git status, history, side-by-side diff, worktrees and submodules for local and remote repositories


• Local, SSH and privileged terminals with multiple sessions, idle dimming and locating the shell directory in the tree


• File, folder, website and terminal/command shortcuts; path buttons and automatic tree indentation; long-press actions for browsing, music and terminals


• Wi-Fi sharing: Twig becomes an HTTP and WebDAV server, so a desktop can mount it


• Website bookmarks, home-screen shortcuts, per-site display settings, JavaScript/CSS, element hiding, resource blocking and debugging; configurable web search and shared domain settings


• Website downloads and optional background sessions


• Root/Shizuku access within the local tree; Android/data access through saved SAF grants where Android permits it


• Encrypted saved credentials, master-password app lock, fingerprint unlock and configuration backups

Less usual things

• Read-only restic backups decrypted on-device, with snapshots as dated folders and recent snapshot locations.


• Videos recognized as a series share remembered opening/ending skip marks; Continue Watching retains the next episode.


• Network MP4/MKV thumbnails fetch keyframes through container indexes, without downloading whole videos.


• Blu-ray M2TS, DTS-HD Master Audio, TrueHD AC-3 cores and PGS subtitles.


• Jellyfin/Emby playback progress syncs to the server; posters, tags, lyrics and external subtitles come from its API.

About this build

F-Droid distributes the free-software libre build without RAR. The developer’s full build adds read-only RAR through junrar, whose UnRAR license has non-free restrictions. Other features are identical. A separate full arm64 APK adds optional NFSv3/v4 support.

Twig has no ads, analytics or telemetry. Network access follows your actions. Opened websites may load ads or trackers.

Optional microphone, camera and location permissions require your consent for each website and are configured separately. Saved bookmarks can remember decisions; temporary pages always ask.
