Yazi is a blazing-fast terminal file manager written in Rust, built on non-blocking async I/O with concurrent task scheduling. It offers image previews, a Lua plugin system, vim-like keybindings, and integrations with tools like ripgrep, fd, fzf, and zoxide.
Use cases
- manage files from the terminal with vim keybindings
- preview images, videos, PDFs, and archives in the terminal
- bulk rename files quickly
- navigate the filesystem fast with fuzzy finding and zoxide
- extend the file manager with Lua plugins and themes
- browse remote filesystems via a virtual filesystem
When to avoid
- you need a GUI file manager
- you prefer a simpler, minimal file manager like nnn or lf with less configuration surface
