## What it is
A cross-platform desktop application (built with Tauri) for managing multiple active Node.js versions, paired with a companion CLI tool called nvmd. It lets users install, uninstall, and switch Node.js versions globally or per-project via a GUI or terminal.

## Use cases
- manage multiple node.js versions on my machine
- switch node version per project
- install a specific node.js version
- graphical alternative to nvm
- pin node version for a repo
- uninstall old node versions
- keep node environments isolated across projects

## When to choose
- you want a GUI to manage Node.js versions instead of shell-only nvm
- you need per-project Node.js version pinning
- you work across macOS, Windows, and Linux and want one consistent tool
- you want both GUI and CLI workflows for version switching

## When to avoid
- you only need a lightweight shell-only version manager like nvm or fnm
- you need to manage non-Node.js runtimes (Python, Ruby, etc.)
- you prefer not installing a desktop app for CLI tasks

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, cli, gui, version-control
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform
