 # TraceView
 
 🚀 **TraceView** is a fast and feature-rich TUI (Text-based User Interface) application written in Rust. It enables users to navigate the local filesystem, monitor system resources, search for files and directories, retrieve metadata, and export search results to JSON. The app is configurable via a `config.toml` file and provides a smooth user experience with different themes.
