Developers and terminal users seeking a fast, customizable file manager for browsing, previewing, organizing, and managing files from the command line
About Yazi
Yazi is a blazing-fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O. All I/O operations are asynchronous, while CPU tasks are spread across multiple threads to make the most of available resources. Its task system provides powerful async task scheduling and management, with real-time progress updates, task cancellation, and internal task priority assignment. Built for users who live in the terminal, Yazi combines speed with a modern file-management workflow: scrollable previews for various file types, visual mode for bulk selection and bulk rename, Vim-like input and select components, multi-tab collaboration, and fast navigation through tools like fzf and zoxide. Users can select multiple files individually, perform copy, cut, and other operations, and let the task system schedule the work while keeping progress visible. Incremental find shows matches in real time, including the current position and total number of matches.

SuperFile
SuperFile introduces sovereign file control, going beyond the limits of file sharing by keeping files secure and under your control even after they are shared. Your company loses control of its files the moment they leave the system: sensitive files get forwarded outside the company, teams do not know who has them or where they end up, security depends on where the file is stored instead of what the file is, former employees can still have copies, downloaded access cannot usually be revoked, files get duplicated or renamed, and authenticity becomes harder to prove. SuperFile eliminates this by building file control into the file itself. Trackable Files let users see who accessed a file, when, and from where, with every interaction recorded at the file level instead of only at the platform level, including access history, time and location visibility, user verification, and real-time activity logs.

Muse Code
Muse Code is Meta’s terminal coding agent, powered by Muse Spark 1.2, for handling complex software engineering tasks across large repositories. The agent can plan changes, write code, validate results, and coordinate multiple persistent subagents during development sessions. Muse Code uses async background agents that stay active throughout a session to reduce repeated information gathering and help complete multi-step tasks with less steering. Its runtime uses a local event log that records model calls, tool runs, approvals, and edits so sessions can be replayed and resumed after failures. Muse Code includes bundled skills such as /plan for approval-gated planning, /grill for stress-testing plans, and /goal for working toward completion. Built for AI developers and software teams, Muse Code helps automate coding workflows, long-running engineering tasks, debugging, and repository-level development.
