Spiral

GTK4 file manager for Wayland with a FileChooser portal backend

Desktopfreeglobal

Spiral is a native file manager for Wayland desktops, written in Rust with GTK4 and libadwaita, that also acts as a FileChooser portal backend so other Wayland apps' file-open dialogs work through it. It's built for Linux users on Wayland who want a fully native file management experience, including consistent file-picker dialogs across apps.
