Feature your project in the FileKit readme ✨

[vinceglb]

Share your project with us 😄

In the next few weeks, I'll be adding a new section to the readme to showcase the amazing projects of the community using FileKit.

The main goals are:

• Showcasing the projects of the community using FileKit
• Building trust and credibility for the library for newcomers
• Giving real-world examples of how developers use FileKit

If you are building something with FileKit, open source or not, and want to be featured on the readme, please share your project with us by commenting on this discussion! You can comment with:

• Your app / project name
• A short description of what it does
• A link to your repository / website

Also, if you want to share a project privately without being featured on the readme, you can send me an email.

Thank you again for using the library! ❤️

This is a great idea! I use FileKit for Heron, an open source KMP bluesky client. Specifically Filekit is used for fetching images for previewing when uploading images or videos to bluesky.

The app is

• Offline first
• Large screens first
• Edge to edge
• Has a bunch of animations as seen in blog posts like this and this.

Using filekit on Rush, an app to search save and share lyrics like spotify. Using it on backup options and letting users create cards from their own gallery images

I use FileKit on Composables's SVG to Compose tool. Love how simple you made it to just pick files.

It was particularly handy because I build my Compose apps on JVM and I needed the tool to be published on my site. Debugging apps on the web is a pain right now, so FileKit made it a breeze. Kudos!

I use filekit on Twine to support importing and exporting OPML files for RSS feeds.

I use FileKit in Butler, a Compose Multiplatform BYOK AI Chat App. It is useful for sending images to AI models. In the future, I plan to support sending other files, such as PDFs. The client is available on iOS, Android, Dekstop (JVM) and WasmJS (very experimental).

I use FileKit in PixelSafe, a Compose Multiplatform Steganography app.

It works really well, so I will soon switch to it in Ashampoo Photo Organizer, which is a Compose Multiplatform photo management tool.

Right now I'm tasked to make a new UI for "Ashampoo Backup", which (of course) also uses Compose Multiplatform - this also includes Filekit.

EDIT: Migration is done for my Photo Organizer and the macOS version (using your lib) online. :)

I use FileKit in AndroidToolKit. For me, FileKit meets all my needs for file selection, whether it is folder or file selection, it is very easy to use

Hi Vincent! 😊
We use FileKit in Splital, an app for splitting expenses with others, currently available on Android and iPhone. Users can add their expenses, indicate who paid, and choose how they want to split the amount. Splital then automatically calculates who owes whom and how much, so users can stop worrying about the math and focus on enjoying their time.

FileKit is used for these features:

• Attaching photos of receipts to expenses (camera and gallery)
• Adding profile pictures for users (camera and gallery)
• Adding pictures to groups (camera and gallery)
• Image compression before uploading them
• Saving expense reports as PDF and CSV files
• [In development] Saving expense images to the phone gallery

We've been using FileKit since February 2025, and our experience has been amazing! 👍🏻

Thank you for your work 🙏

Hey Vincent!

I use FileKit in Tracker - Manager for Bluesky - available on Android & iOS and used by thousands of users. It's a companion app for tracking and managing your Bluesky social network. It provides real-time insights into followers, unfollowers, blocks, and post analytics. The app allows users to monitor their audience, manage connections, analyze content performance and perform bulk actions.

Built with KMP and CMP, FileKit came handy in order to provide my users the ability to export some of their data as .json files and import them with your file picker, so that the users can easily move their data between phones.

Thanks a lot for your work, everything is working perfectly so far! 👏
