## What it is
Xplorer is a cross-platform desktop file manager built with Tauri 2 (Rust backend, React 18 frontend) featuring AI-powered search and chat, rich file previews, Git integration, and SSH remote browsing. It is extensible via an extension SDK and marketplace, and is currently in beta on its 'next' branch rewrite.

## Use cases
- manage files across windows macos and linux with a modern file manager
- search files by natural language or semantic meaning
- preview pdfs code documents and media without opening another app
- browse remote servers over ssh from a file explorer
- view git history diffs and blame inside a file manager
- chat with an AI about my files and organize them automatically
- customize the file manager with themes and extensions

## When to choose
- you want a modern, themeable, cross-platform file manager with AI features
- you need rich inline previews for many file formats
- you want Git and SSH integration inside your file explorer
- you like keyboard-driven workflows and extension ecosystems

## When to avoid
- you need a fully production-stable file manager today (the rewrite is beta, not production-ready)
- you want a minimal, lightweight explorer without AI or cloud provider integrations
- you require deep OS shell integration comparable to native system file managers

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- domain: files, developer-tools, cross-platform
