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
