Sidekick File Manager
A full file explorer that runs inside your browser — no server required.
Drop Sidekick into any web application and your users get a native-quality file manager that reads and writes directly to their local filesystem. It uses the browser's File System Access API, so no files are uploaded anywhere. Works standalone or embedded in a host React app.
- Grid, List, and Filmstrip views
- Video thumbnail extraction
- Sidecar metadata (.json) scanner
