Mariner

Alpha

GNOME Files, plus everything the issue tracker rejected.

Mariner is a GTK4 + libadwaita file manager for the GNOME desktop. It drives the same widgets as GNOME Files (Nautilus), so it looks and behaves like home — then adds type-ahead navigation, dual-pane split view, a Quick Look preview, a command palette, full-text search, and a built-in disk analyzer on top.

Features

Type-ahead navigation

Just start typing and Mariner navigates straight to the matching file.

Dual-pane split view

Two folders side by side — copy, move, or drag files between them without juggling windows.

Quick Look preview

Press Space on any file to preview images, video, audio, text, and code instantly.

Command palette

Ctrl+P runs any command or jumps to a recent folder — like VS Code, for your files.

Full-text search

Search file contents, not just names, with an optional ripgrep-powered Contents filter.

Built-in disk analyzer

See what's eating your disk space without a separate app.
