Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Minimalist CLI designed just to make it easier to navigate directories i.e. a replacement for cd and ls. Fuzzy search makes it navigating through the directory tree very fast. Shortcuts to preview, delete files, and exit with or with navigating to the directory. Prebuilt binaries for Mac, Linux, Windows. Open source.

Tradeoffs

Requires a workaround to work properly in PowerShell. Have to trigger fuzzy search on every directory change.
