Walk through your folders. Every folder on your computer is a 3D room.
| Windows | Roomy 3D - file explorer on the Microsoft Store (free) |
| macOS | Roomy 3D - file explorer on the Mac App Store (free). Intel and Apple Silicon; macOS 10.13 or later. |
Roomy shows the folder you open as a room. Files and folders stand in the room as items. Walk around, arrange them the way you think, and Roomy remembers the arrangement per folder. Open a folder item and you walk into that folder's room; open a file item and it launches in its usual app.
| Right-drag | Look around (rotate the view) |
| Left-drag on empty space | Slide the view (pan) |
| Mouse wheel | Move forward / backward (Shift = faster) |
| Arrow keys | Walk |
| Double-click an item | Fly over to stand in front of it |
| Home button (bottom left) | Glide back to the room's start position |
| 1-finger drag | Look around |
| 2-finger drag | Slide the view |
| Pinch open / close | Move forward / backward |
| Double-tap the floor | Glide to that spot |
| Double-tap an item | Fly over to it |
| Open | Click the item's title (or anywhere on its open info panel). Folders become the next room; files open in their default app. |
| Go up one folder | The back arrow on the top bar |
| Create | New folder and new text file buttons on the top bar — the new item appears in front of you, ready to name |
| Rename | In EDIT mode, click into the item's title and type (Windows) |
| Delete | Select items and delete — real files go to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac), never destroyed directly |
| Move / arrange | In EDIT mode, drag items around the room; hold Shift while dragging to push them away or pull them closer. Items can also stick to walls. |
The eye/pencil buttons (bottom right) switch modes. VIEW is for browsing: items open on click and distant items magnify as you point at them. EDIT is for arranging: drag items, rename titles, resize and restyle.
| Shapes | Select an item, then pick a shape from the palette panel — files can look like books, folders, notebooks, boxes… |
| Colors | Select an item and paint it from the color menu |
| Scale & rotate | The stepper strips (EDIT mode): ▲▼ buttons or type a value |
| Environments | The dropdown on the top bar picks the room's look (per folder). Some environments are add-ons from the Microsoft Store. |
| Info panels | Every item has a panel: expand it with the up button on the item menu, stretch it, drag it — image files show their picture on it |
Build a path through the room (EDIT mode → slide show items), then play it from the player strip: Manual stops at each open panel for you, Flythrough glides the whole way, Loop pauses at each stop and repeats.
Roomy works entirely on your computer, collects nothing, and stores each room's layout in a small hidden file in that folder. Privacy policy.
