What's Good
MIT Rust binary. Works across bash/zsh/fish/nushell/PowerShell and friends. Frecent ranking, interactive `zi` with fzf, drop-in replacement habits for `cd`. Tiny and fast.
The Catch
Directory jumper only — not a file manager (Yazi), not a shell, not Atuin history. Needs a one-line shell init. Ranking learns from you; fresh machines feel empty until you walk around.
Verdict
MIT frecent cd. Free forever when your muscle memory is folders, not full paths.
