Guida di Filarr

What Filarr is, what you can do with it, where to start and how this help is organized.

Download and install Filarr on Windows or Linux, or open it in your browser. Updates, uninstalling and where your data is stored.

The two ways to use Filarr, what changes between them, the 12-word and 24-word recovery phrases, and how to switch later.

The setup wizard screen by screen: language, local or cloud, your account and recovery phrase, your profile, PIN, starter folders and the tour.

The header, the sidebar (docked, rail or drawer), tabs and split view, the home screen, the command palette and density, and how to replay the interface tour.

A short tutorial: create a folder, add files, open one, write a note linked to it, then find everything again with search.

Open Filarr at app.filarr.com: sign in, unlock at each visit, what changes from the desktop app, offline use and security in the browser.

Download ready-made files, linked notes in English or French, and a 200-note demo vault, then import them to explore Filarr.

Bring files from your computer into a folder with Upload Files or drag and drop, follow the progress and know what happens to names and originals.

Create, rename and move folders, give them a color and an icon, switch between grid and list, sort, group and work on several items at once.

See all your folders at once in a tree, in columns or as a map of used space, with quick filters and a details panel for each folder.

What a click and a double-click do, the built-in viewers for PDF, photos, video and audio, the preview with its information panel, and Open with.

Edit text, Markdown, code, CSV tables, calendars and Filarr documents without leaving the app, create a new document and save your changes.

Tag files to find them across folders, filter a folder by tag, keep favorites one click or one key away, and get back to what you opened lately.

Gather files from different folders in one place without moving them: pick them by hand, or let rules such as a tag or a date pick them for you.

Let Filarr suggest a place for waiting files, remove exact duplicates, and clean up empty, dormant or badly named folders. Nothing moves without you.

Go back to an earlier state of a file: when Filarr keeps a version, how to compare two versions line by line, restore one or export it.

Where deleted files and folders go, how to put them back, and how to delete them for good, one by one or all at once.

Make a scan or a photo searchable by its text, or turn it into a note you can edit. Recognition runs entirely on your device.

Look inside ZIP, 7z, RAR and TAR archives without extracting them, and download several files at once as a single ZIP.

Put an extra password on a folder or a file so that Filarr asks for it before opening, and change or remove it later.

Let rules sort your files for you: start from a template or build a rule with a trigger, conditions and actions, then run, pause or edit it.

A drop box that files what people send you on its own, rules that send your invoices to your accountant or Qonto, and the keychain for your API keys.

Put a reminder on a file or a folder, manage your reminders in one place, and see in the timeline what was created or changed lately.

Let Filarr import on its own the files that land in a folder of your computer, such as Downloads or a scanner folder, and keep them up to date.

Create a blank note or start from a template, give it a title, an icon and a cover, let Filarr save it, and read its banners.

Bold, headings, lists, colors, links: format with the selection bubble, the “/” menu, Markdown or the fixed toolbar, then find and replace.

Type / in a note to insert any block: headings, lists, callouts, columns, tables, images, sub-pages, databases. Every command, by family.

Move, duplicate and convert blocks with the handle or the keyboard, and use callouts, toggles, columns, tables, code, math, diagrams and more.

Add images from your vault, your computer or the clipboard, place and resize them, open them full screen, and attach file cards to a note.
