  1. chafa

    📺🗿 Terminal graphics for the 21st century.

    Project mention: yazi: Rust Terminal File Manager with Image Preview — Alacritty Fix Included | dev.to | 2026-04-21

    On macOS, Ãœberzug++'s X11/Wayland backend is disabled at compile time, so it can't overlay images. yazi automatically falls back to Chafa, which renders images using Unicode block characters inside the terminal.

  2. AppSignal
