## What it is
A cross-platform desktop GUI for browsing and restoring files from restic backup repositories, built with Tauri and TypeScript. It displays snapshots and file contents from local or remote repositories and lets users dump, restore, or open selected files.

## Use cases
- browse restic backup repositories with a gui
- restore individual files from a restic snapshot
- open a file from a backup without full restore
- dump a folder from a restic repo as a zip archive
- view snapshots from local or remote restic repositories

## When to choose
- you use restic for backups and want a visual way to browse and restore files
- you need a cross-platform (Windows/macOS/Linux) restic frontend
- you only need browsing/restoring, not running backups

## When to avoid
- you need a full backup GUI that can create or manage backups
- you prefer a command-line-only workflow
- you use a backup tool other than restic

## Facets
