Software for people who never left the terminal.
No Electron. No JVM. No webview wrappers. No telemetry. Just tools.

Vim-native SQL client.
MySQL · Postgres · SQLite · DuckDB (CSV / Parquet queries out of the
box). ratatui TUI with per-tab connections and warm pool swapping,
OS-keyring credentials, sqls LSP (hover + goto-def), tree-sitter
highlighting, destructive-statement guard, and a headless
-e mode for scripts and CI.
Vim-inspired browser.
Native, GPU-accelerated, Wayland-only. Chromium via CEF is the shipping
backend, behind a BrowserEngine trait with per-domain
engine rules — a WPE WebKit backend lives in-tree behind the same seam.
Modal browsing, hint-mode, ex-style command palette, find-in-page, IME,
PiP, SQLite-backed history / bookmarks / downloads / permissions.
Modal editor + vim engine.
Vim-modal terminal editor — multi-buffer, splits and tabs, a full LSP
client, fuzzy file/buffer/grep pickers, lazygit-adjacent
<leader>g git surface, runtime tree-sitter grammar
loading, a persistent branching undo tree, and six bundled themes.
Fifty-plus crates on crates.io; the same vim FSM (hjkl-vim)
drives sqeel, buffr, and inbx.
Modal-vim email client.
IMAP/SMTP, Gmail XOAUTH2, Microsoft Graph, JMAP — one client, every
inbox. Maildir + SQLite (WAL) + FTS5 search and JWZ threading.
Multi-folder sync with optional inbx-sync IPC daemon.
CalDAV + CardDAV + ManageSieve. PGP via gpg or local keys. Composer
powered by hjkl.
Light crypto wallet, TUI.
ratatui UI, BIP-39 seed, BIP-32/44 derivation. Bitcoin · ETH · BSC · Monero · NavCoin · LTC · DOGE · BCH. ERC-20 token reads on Ethereum + BSC. Optional OS-keyring vault auto-unlock. TOFU cert pinning on every Electrum endpoint. Local keys, encrypted at rest. Never phones home.
Vim-modal picker / launcher.
Rofi replacement with hjkl keys. Seven modes — dmenu, drun, run, ssh, emoji, clipboard, calc — on a floem-rendered Wayland layer-shell overlay with exclusive keyboard grab. Normal/insert modal split, vim motions, fuzzy match via nucleo. Single binary, no daemon, no telemetry.
btop-style GPU monitor, TUI.
NVIDIA · AMD · Intel · Apple, on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Utilization, VRAM, temperature, power, clocks, per-process usage — live braille graphs in ratatui. Graceful degradation when a backend can't answer. Single binary, no daemons.
Agentic coding harness.
"Herder" — a fast agentic coding harness for OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic models. A ratatui TUI over a UI-agnostic agent core, or headless NDJSON for CI. Adaptive tool set + MCP, sub-agents, persistent memory, prompt caching, guardrails that hard-block foot-guns. The vim layer is hjkl, of course.
LLM inference engine.
Pure-Rust LLM inference, Vulkan-first — built to run on any mainstream GPU without a CUDA toolchain. OpenAI-compatible server with tool calls and SSE streaming. Backend for hrdr and anything else that speaks the API.
Cross-platform dotfiles manager.
A vault for your dotfiles on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Copy-based
deploy with manifest-tracked drift detection replaces
stow; a declarative .krypt.toml with a
predicate-gated step runner replaces the .setup /
.update bash pile. Package-manager abstraction, first-run
wizard, generic subcommand dispatcher.
No JVM, no Node, no webview wrapper. Small binaries, instant startup, predictable RSS.
Modal editing as a first-class citizen. Normal/insert/visual, real motions, leader chords.
Power users get keys. Everyone else gets mice. Neither is a second-class citizen.
No analytics. No phone-home. No "anonymous" usage data. Your terminal, your business.
hjkl drives the modal layer across every project. Same FSM,
TUI or GUI or browser.
Every binary, every crate, every landing page. Fork it, ship it, study it. No catch.
