About the startup

Iruka is a native macOS file manager built around one missing feature: an embedded terminal that follows your navigation, like KDE Dolphin's. Click into a folder, the shell is already there, no cd. Also: rendered Markdown/CSV previews, inline editing, one-click SSH + SCP, Git status from any folder, S3/SFTP/WebDAV mounts, dual pane, batch rename. Swift, no Electron, starts in under a second. Built solo in Swift, still shipping fast based on user requests. $19.99 one-time, 30-day trial.
