TUI Explorer

TUI Explorer turns the Linux terminal into a file manager that feels like a small desktop app, with a places, mounts, tags and bookmarks sidebar, a clickable breadcrumb, a responsive ASCII-art icon grid and a preview panel. All icons are plain ASCII art drawn by the app's own icon engine, so it works in any terminal without patched fonts or emoji. Named tags are stored in SQLite and survive restarts, files and folders encrypt in place via the age crate's passphrase API, and images preview live on Kitty, Sixel or iTerm2 terminals with a half-block fallback. Built entirely in Rust and Linux only, the source is at github.com/0bifthenelse/tui-explorer.
