Neru download | SourceForge.net

Neru is a free, open-source desktop navigation utility designed to replace mouse interactions with keyboard-driven controls. It extends Vim-style navigation beyond web browsers to applications, windows, menus, and desktop elements. Users can activate labeled hints to select interface components without moving the mouse manually. Multiple grid navigation modes allow precise cursor positioning, including in games and remote desktops. Its detection system combines accessibility information, on-device OCR, and screen image analysis. Neru also provides keyboard-based scrolling, window navigation, and customizable interaction commands. Configuration is managed through a TOML file, with command-line and IPC interfaces for automation. Available for macOS, Linux, and Windows, it provides a privacy-focused approach to mouseless desktop control.
