What's Good
MIT. Blazing interactive filter for any list piped in. Shell keybindings, vim integration, preview windows. Universal CLI building block.
The Catch
Fuzzy finder only - not a file manager, not ripgrep itself (pairs with it), not a shell. You wire the pipes. Not Atuin shell history sync.
Verdict
MIT fuzzy finder. Free forever; you compose the workflows.
