Why Brum?
- Blazing Fast Orthodox Multi-Pane Manager: 1-to-4 dynamic panels (
Alt+1–4), orthodox keyboard shortcuts (F1–F10), fast branch view, and sub-millisecond path traversal. - 18+ Built-in Power ChewToys: Integrated utilities replacing 10+ standalone apps (NoteDog Notes, AMP Jukebox, Tetra Arcade, PDF Studio, ConvertX, Slide-Up PTY Terminal, and Delta Backup).
- Universal Remote VFS: Direct zero-leakage client for SFTP/SSH, SMB/Windows Shares, NFS, S3 Cloud Storage, WebDAV, Proton Drive, and Hetzner Storage Box.
- Zero-Knowledge Encrypted Vaults: Password-protected
.cdvaultcontainers with Argon2id + AES-256-GCM RAM-only virtual streaming (no plaintext ever touches disk). - Dual Mode: Run as a standalone native desktop app (Windows & Linux with tiling WM support) or as a headless web server.
