Fluffy File Manager: Open-Source Organizer

Fluffy File Manager is a tools app by MLM Games that provides fast and private file management on Android devices. It is designed for users who want a straightforward, offline-capable file manager with strong archive support, including a user interface that works well on TVs as well as phones and tablets. The app lets you browse internal storage or any Storage Access Framework (SAF) folder, create and extract archives in several common formats, and run tasks in the background with a dedicated Task Center. It is free, open source, and contains no ads, trackers, or network dependencies, making it a good choice for privacy-conscious users who want a reliable file tool without unnecessary permissions or data collection.

The app focuses on core file operations with a clean, TV-friendly layout that uses DPAD navigation and large touch targets, so it is easy to control with a remote or on a touchscreen. You can open archives like folders, extract only selected files, and create ZIP or 7z archives. Background tasks let you continue working while files are copied or compressed, and the Task Center shows progress. Fluffy works fully offline and does not send or collect any personal data, which is a significant advantage for users who value privacy.

Fluffy File Manager is suitable for anyone who needs a dependable file manager on Android, from casual users who want to unzip a download to power users who manage many archives or use an Android TV device. Its optional permissions are transparent: you can grant full filesystem access on Android 11 and newer, or you can use SAF-only mode to avoid that permission entirely. The app is rated for everyone and is free with no in-app purchases. Version 4.5.4 requires Android 7.0 or higher, and the app is available in English.
