Intro

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.

Unless you live in the terminal, the CLI has little advantage for these operations.

Rclone UI is for you if you want to browse your remotes quickly, run operations with an interface that shows what is happening, and get an in-depth overview of your data.

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 active and keeps adding features, with the aim of making Rclone UI the most complete and reliable way to manage rclone. Features include:

• Integrated documentation for all commands and flags, in every operation window
• Remote control of your rclone instances (for your servers/docker/homelab), and of this one from your phone
• A command palette for quick access to your most used commands
• Schedules, notifications and the Commander for the things you do every day
• An interface designed down to the pixel, for demanding users
• A file browser for your data
