## What it is
Simple File Manager is an open-source, ad-free file and folder manager app for Android devices built in Kotlin. It offers file operations like copy, move, rename, compress, and search, plus privacy features such as PIN, pattern, or fingerprint protection, all working without internet access.

## Use cases
- manage files and folders on my android phone
- compress files to free up storage space
- password protect hidden files with fingerprint
- browse files on sd card or usb drive
- analyze what is taking up storage space
- ad-free open source file manager for android

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-respecting, offline file manager with no ads on Android
- you need basic file operations plus compression and storage analysis
- you want to lock files or the app itself with PIN, pattern, or fingerprint

## When to avoid
- you need advanced features like cloud storage integration or network file transfer
- you are not on Android
- you need a file manager with built-in media editing beyond the light document editor
