Natls is a colorful `ls` alternative written in Rust that displays file permissions, sizes, modification dates, and ownership. It offers an easy-to-use file search and color-coded output to distinguish file types.
Use cases
- list files with permissions and sizes in the terminal
- replace ls with a more informative directory listing
- color-code files and folders in shell output
- search for files from the command line
- show file ownership and last modified dates
When to choose
- you want a prettier, more informative ls on Linux or macOS
- you prefer Rust-based CLI tools installed via cargo, brew, or snap
When to avoid
- you are on Windows, which is not supported
- you need an actively maintained tool with recent releases
