+# Saury
+
+Saury is the friendly [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org) helper written in [fish](https://fishshell.com), the friendly shell.
+
+The usage of Saury is designed to be similar to pacman.
+
+Saury is in a very early state of development and is not yet ready for daily use.
+
+## Differences between saury and {yay,aurman,...}
+
+Much like [aura](https://github.com/aurapm/aura), Saury fully separates operations concerning AUR packages and operations concerning packages from the official Arch Linux repositories.
+
+Saury takes this one step further and only works with AUR packages, instead of wrapping pacman for official packages. This is by design: pacman works well for official packages, and combining both package sources in one tool is unnecessary and potentially confusing for the user.
+
+## License
+
+Saury is available under the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License. The full license can be found in the [LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md) file.
