Motivation: I often need to browse images on remote servers over SSH. I wanted something fast and keyboard-driven that works entirely in the terminal (including inside tmux), but couldn’t find a good fit—so I built one.
Features: - sxiv/vim-style keybindings with counts (e.g., 5j, 10k) - Works over SSH + tmux (auto-detects and enables passthrough when needed) - Fast rendering: cache + prefetch + zlib-compressed transport - Tile mode for a thumbnail grid view - OSC 52 clipboard support (e.g., copy image path even over SSH) - High-quality rendering via the Kitty Graphics Protocol (KGP)
Requirements: a KGP-capable terminal (Kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm).
