Currently in early development. Use at your own risk.
A minimalist, fast native Linux file manager.
Written in Rust. Built for the Cosmic Desktop Environment.
Because it is good to have a competent alternative to the native Cosmic file manager.
Although my primary motivation was that the Cosmic File currently has an issue with its file chooser that causes it to enter a loop of crashes.
- Zero-Copy Transfers
- DBus Portal Hijacking
- Fearless Concurrency With Tokio and Rayon
- Regex Batch Renaming
- In-Process Archiving Without Shelling Out
- Rich Media Caching
Strict Elm architecture.
This codebase is Linux-first. So it naturally relies heavily on FreeDesktop XDG standards, DBus session buses, and UNIX file permissions.
You need the standard Rust toolchain and just.
# Build and run in debug mode
just run
# Install binary, .desktop file, and DBus service to ~/.local (no root required)
just install-local
# Install system-wide
sudo just install-system
# Run the test suite
just test
