Description

A Rust-based utility for managing default applications and opening files or links through desktop associations. It is useful when you want more control over what app handles a file type, URL scheme, or desktop action.

Install it if you manage file associations from the terminal. Changing defaults affects what opens when you click files or links, so review rules before applying broad changes.

How to run
