Hunter is a fast, lag-free terminal file browser/manager written in Rust with an asynchronous, multi-threaded design that keeps it responsive even under heavy load. It offers tabs, bookmarks, search/filter, file previews, and integrates with standard CLI tools for file manipulation.

Use cases

• browse files in the terminal quickly
• preview files and directories without leaving the terminal
• manage files using familiar CLI tools from a TUI
• replace ranger with a faster file manager
• run custom actions on files based on MIME type
• view subprocess output and exit codes inside a file manager

When to choose

• you want a fast, responsive terminal file browser with previews
• you prefer ranger-like workflows with Emacs-flavoured keybindings
• you want to compose file operations with standard CLI tools
• you need robust handling of unusual file names

When to avoid

• you need built-in file manipulation primitives like delete or rename
• you want a GUI file manager
• you need active development or frequent updates (last release 2022)
