Also Broot, which is-- like OP's tool-- intended as an ls replacement rather than a full file manager: https://github.com/Canop/broot

Broot looks really nice. I love the tree-like output - `tree` is one of my favorite tools. Interactive tree is a great idea, makes me wish I had perhaps started there instead.
broot can be used to replace tree (i.e. be non interactive): https://dystroy.org/broot/tricks/#replace-tree

This is convenient when you don't want to browse or search, just want what tree does but without scrolling.

I love tree, too!

Sometimes broot feels a little busy or complex to me, though. I'm interested in your tool's UI as well.

Broot is incredible!
Oh wow that's nice, exactly what I needed as an external file picker for helix
