- Places sidebar — quick access to Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, and other common directories
- Bookmark support — pin your own folders to the sidebar, persisted across sessions
- Trash management — move files to trash and restore them, following the freedesktop.org spec
- File operations — copy, cut, paste, rename, delete, and create new folders
- Search — filter files in the current directory
- Keyboard shortcuts — navigate and manage files without leaving the keyboard
- Status bar — item count and free disk space at a glance
