Introducing nfSensei — A Modern Network Operating System

nfSensei is a next-generation firewall and network operating system. Built from scratch in Rust with a React web interface, it delivers an API-first architecture where every operation — CLI, web UI, and on-device AI — flows through the same clean interface.

Key highlights:

  • 5 self-contained binaries — the entire OS including the web UI
  • 400+ command nushell-based CLI
  • AI-native with on-device intelligence (Clyde)
  • 40+ themes with the Kensho design system
  • nftables-native firewall backend
  • Candidate/running config model with built-in diff
  • API-first — CLI, web UI, and AI all share the same API
  • React web interface
  • Lua package ecosystem
Alpha launch: April 30, 2026
