# croc-app (open-source file manager)

> croc-app is a free, open-source file manager for Android. Modern client for croc, easily and securely send files and text. It has 113 GitHub stars and is released under the MIT license, and you can install it from F-Droid.

croc-app is an Android client for croc with a modern, mobile-first UI built in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. It is designed to make file and text sharing feel much more natural on Android: quick send, quick receive, QR-assisted flows, saved codes, transfer history, and better handling for the small details that matter on phones. Why this project exists? This project was inspired by croc-gui, which showed that a mobile-friendly croc experience could work. But croc-gui is older, written in Go, and lacks a number of features and UX improvements we wanted in a modern Android app.
