Intro

"The GUI for Rclone", what does it mean?

Introduction

Rclone UI is the premier solution for managing rclone.

The rclone CLI is a powerful tool for working with cloud storage providers from the terminal. It's best suited for scripting, doing all the heavy lifting and under-the-hood operations that you'd normally have to implement yourself.

Most people however use it for one-off operations, like copying a file from one remote to another, or syncing a folder. Some of us use it for mounting, encrypting data, or even more complex operations.

There's very little advantage to using the CLI for these operations,

Unless you live in the terminal, there's isn't much of an advantage to using the CLI for these operations.

If your main goal is to be able to quickly browse your different remotes, run operations with an interface where you can better see what's happening, and have an in-depth overview of your data, then Rclone UI is for you.

Architecture

Rclone UI is built in Rust, and uses the rclone CLI under the hood.

It provides a better integration between your storage providers and the operating system because it's a standalone desktop application, not a web/browser app like previously available solutions.

It can do stuff that a browser app can't, like automatically starting on boot and mounting your remotes on startup.

Compatibility

The app is available for all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux).

It provides support for both x64 and ARM architectures (like Apple Silicon).

Features

The community is very active and constantly focused on making Rclone UI the most feature-rich and reliable solution for managing rclone.

We constantly innovate with features such as:

  • Integrated documentation for all commands and flags
  • Remote control of your rclone instances (for your servers/docker/homelab)
  • A sleek command pallette for quick access to your most used commands
  • Pixel-perfect interface customized for details (built for demanding users)
  • A beautiful and intuitive UI for browsing your data
