## What it is
A fast cross-platform file explorer built with a Rust backend and React frontend via Tauri. It offers millisecond fuzzy search using an adaptive radix tree with LRU caching, plus file operations, SFTP support, file hashing, and previews.

## Use cases
- find files instantly instead of waiting minutes in Windows Explorer
- browse and manage files with a fast modern UI
- search files with fuzzy matching
- transfer files over SFTP to remote servers
- compute file hashes like MD5 and SHA2
- preview files quickly like macOS Spotlight

## When to choose
- Windows Explorer search is too slow for your large drives
- you want a lightweight cross-platform file manager with fast search
- you need built-in SFTP browsing alongside local file management

## When to avoid
- you need a fully polished installer and stable release for all platforms
- you rely on deep OS shell integration or extensive plugin ecosystems
- you prefer a mature file manager like Total Commander or Dolphin

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: search-engine, file-system, gui, caching
- domain: files, desktop-applications, developer-tools
- platform: windows, rust, cross-platform
- tags: file-explorer, tauri, fuzzy-search, sftp, file-manager, macos, linux
