[Install] [Documentation] [Hacks] [Plugins] [Integrations]

xplr is a terminal UI based file explorer that aims to increase our terminal productivity by being a flexible, interactive orchestrator for the ever growing awesome command-line utilities that work with the file-system.

To achieve its goal, xplr strives to be a fast, minimal and more importantly, hackable file explorer.

xplr is not meant to be a replacement for the standard shell commands or the GUI file managers. Rather, it aims to [integrate them all][14] and expose an intuitive, scriptable, [keyboard controlled][2], [real-time visual interface][1], also being an ideal candidate for [further integration][15], enabling you to achieve insane terminal productivity.
