Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Twig is a size-first, dual-pane Android file manager that unifies local storage, archives, network protocols (FTP, SFTP, SMB, WebDAV, S3), restic repositories, and media servers (Jellyfin/Emby) into a single expandable tree. It stands out for its modular 'one FileSystem interface' architecture, hand-written implementations of WebDAV, S3, Git, and restic, and a focus on minimal dependencies and small APK size.

Target audience: Android power users, developers, system administrators, and privacy-conscious users managing remote and local files
