## What it is
Fasd is a command-line productivity booster for POSIX shells that tracks files and directories you access and ranks them by frecency (frequency + recency). It provides quick aliases to jump to or open frequently used paths with just a few keystrokes.

## Use cases
- jump to frequently visited directories with a few keystrokes
- open recently accessed files without typing full paths
- find a frecent file matching partial name fragments
- replace autojump or z with a combined files-and-directories tool
- expand short search terms into full paths in shell commands

## When to choose
- you navigate the shell constantly and want frecency-based quick access to files and directories
- you want a self-contained POSIX shell script with no dependencies
- you like z or autojump but also want quick file access, not just directories

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with active development and recent fixes
- you use a non-POSIX shell like fish or PowerShell without adaptation
- you prefer GUI-based file navigation or IDE-centric workflows
