What is Material Files?

Though numerous file managers are available that boast strong functionality, many fall short of fully embracing Material Design principles. Even those that assert adherence to these guidelines often reveal subtle design flaws, including problems with layout, alignment, padding, icons, and fonts, which can lead to user discomfort, particularly for individuals like myself, even if not everyone feels compelled to address these issues. As a result of this dissatisfaction, I took the initiative to create my own file manager. Furthermore, a significant number of widely-used and reputable file managers operate under closed-source models. While I sometimes rely on these applications for tasks requiring root access, I cannot shake the unease that comes from allowing a closed-source program such extensive permissions on my device. After all, my device houses sensitive personal information, and the trust I place in these developers is often unfounded. Thus, it becomes imperative to emphasize the need for transparency regarding access permissions within software applications, as this builds a stronger bond of trust between users and developers. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with us to ensure that our data remains secure and that the tools we use align with our standards for privacy and usability.
