## What it is
Sigma File Manager is a free, open-source, modern file manager (explorer) application for Windows and Linux built with Electron, Vue, and TypeScript. It offers fast global search with typo correction, tabs, split view, extensions with a built-in marketplace, LAN file sharing, and keyboard-friendly navigation.

## Use cases
- replace windows file explorer with a modern file manager
- search files across a large drive quickly with typo tolerance
- manage multiple folders with tabs and split view
- share files over local network with browser access
- extend a file manager with custom commands and pages
- keyboard-driven file navigation with command palette

## When to choose
- you want a modern, feature-rich alternative to File Explorer on Windows or default file managers on Linux
- you need fast full-drive search with fuzzy/typo-tolerant matching
- you want tabs, split view, and an extensible plugin marketplace in a file manager
- you need LAN file sharing or streaming with QR-code browser access

## When to avoid
- you need a file manager for macOS, as only Windows and Linux are supported
- you prefer lightweight native file managers with minimal resource usage
- you require a fully stable, long-proven product, since the project is still quickly evolving
- you need deep network filesystem support, which is still in alpha stage
