What it is
NextFilee is a drag-and-drop file converter positioned as an alternative to Filee, and described as faster, lightweight and fully offline. The repository metadata lists no programming language but does list an MIT license, and topics point at CLI, converter and document tooling.
Described capabilities
Three features are described. The Smart Format Donut: hold a designated hotkey and drag a file, and NextFilee reads the file header then shows a radial menu of conversion options. Batch processing: drag in fifty images at once and it converts them in parallel using multiple threads, writing results next to the originals. Watch folders: point it at a directory and it monitors that location, though the preview text stops mid-sentence and the full behaviour was not supplied.
Getting started
No download, installer or command-line instructions were included, so consult the README. The evidence does not state which formats are supported, which operating systems are targeted, or how hotkeys are configured, so those details cannot be confirmed here.
git clone https://github.com/giantbitmonitor/NextFilee.git
cd NextFilee
# see README for setupFrequently Asked Questions
Does NextFilee upload my files anywhere?
No. It is described as fully offline, so conversion happens locally on your machine.
How does the conversion menu appear?
Hold the designated hotkey and drag a file; NextFilee inspects the file header and shows a radial menu of options for that file type.
Can it convert many files at once?
Yes. The README preview describes dragging fifty images at a time and converting them in parallel with multi-threading, with results saved beside the originals.
Which formats are supported?
That was not supplied. The evidence mentions images and a header-based format detection but no format list.
