FEATURES

EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
NOTHING YOU DON'T.

Instant Location Resolution

Get your full absolute directory path in sub-millisecond time. No ambiguity. No guesswork. Just ground truth, delivered to stdout.

Logical Path Intelligence

Preserve your intended navigation path with our -L mode. Symlinks stay intact, maintaining your team's mental model of the directory tree.

Physical Path Resolution

Cut through every symlink layer to surface the true filesystem path. Zero abstraction. Zero confusion. The -P mode gives you unfiltered reality.

Environment-Aware Context

Locus reads the PWD environment variable to maintain session continuity. Your context travels with you across every workflow, every shell, every time.

Absolute Path Guarantee

Every single response is a complete, root-anchored path. No relative fragments. No ambiguity. Full context from filesystem root, every single time.

Zero-Dependency Architecture

No external libraries. No runtime overhead. No configuration files. POSIX-compliant, battle-tested, and ship-ready from day one.

HOW IT WORKS

THREE STEPS.
ZERO CONFIG.

01

OPEN YOUR TERMINAL

Your workspace is already connected. Locus integrates at the shell level with zero setup, zero dependencies, and zero friction.

02

INVOKE LOCUS

One command. No arguments required. Locus resolves your exact filesystem position using kernel-level path resolution in sub-millisecond time.

03

GET YOUR PATH

A complete, absolute path is delivered to stdout instantly. Pipe it, store it, or use it to ground every downstream operation in truth.

CASE STUDY

HOW VEKTRAL ENGINEERING
UNLOCKED PATH CERTAINTY.

Vektral Engineering, a high-growth infrastructure startup with 340 engineers shipping across 12 monorepo modules, was hemorrhaging velocity. Their deployment scripts relied on relative paths, and symlink drift across staging environments meant builds were resolving to incorrect directories. The team was spending an estimated 400 engineering hours per quarter manually verifying filesystem positions before every deploy.

After integrating Locus into their CI/CD pipeline, every build step now begins with an absolute path resolution call. Physical mode surfaces the true path behind every symlink, giving their deploy orchestrator ground truth at every stage. Logical mode preserves the developer experience in local environments, maintaining the mental model engineers built their workflows around.

The compound effect was immediate. Deployment failures caused by path ambiguity dropped to zero. The platform team reclaimed those 400 hours and redirected them toward high-leverage infrastructure work. Vektral's VP of Engineering called it "the single highest-ROI integration we shipped all year." Locus is now a mission-critical dependency across all 12 modules.

TESTIMONIALS

TEAMS THAT SHIP
USE LOCUS.

"Locus replaced our entire internal location stack. We went from 12 custom scripts to one command. The leverage is unreal."

Lina Morales
Lina Morales VP Engineering, Series B Infra Startup

"Physical resolution mode alone saved us 400 engineering hours. We were manually resolving symlinks across staging. Never again."

Jordan Hayes
Jordan Hayes CTO, Stealth Unicorn

"We built our entire deployment pipeline around Locus. Knowing where you are is genuinely the most mission-critical primitive in our stack."

Theo Pereira
Theo Pereira Staff SRE, High-Growth Fintech

"Before Locus, our team had zero visibility into their filesystem position during deploys. Now we have ground truth at every stage. 10x improvement."

FAQ

QUESTIONS?
ANSWERED.

Locus resolves and delivers your exact filesystem location as a complete, absolute path. Every invocation returns a root-anchored path string to stdout. No relative paths. No fragments. Just ground truth.

Logical mode (-L) preserves your navigation path including symlinks, using the PWD environment variable. Physical mode (-P) resolves every symlink to reveal the true underlying filesystem path. Both are best-in-class — it's a question of which ground truth your workflow demands.

Sub-millisecond. Path resolution happens at kernel speed with zero runtime overhead. There are no network calls, no database lookups, no configuration parsing. Just pure, unmediated filesystem resolution.

Zero. No config files, no environment variables to set, no dependencies to install. Locus works out of the box with a zero-dependency architecture that's POSIX-compliant and battle-tested.

Locus only reads your current filesystem position. No data leaves your machine. No telemetry, no analytics, no third-party calls. We are SOC 2 Type II certified and fully GDPR compliant. Your path is your business.
