needs is a CLI that checks for specified executables and optionally retrieves their version strings.
It runs multi-threaded, optional version lookup, exit codes for missing tools, colored output with verbose logging, and can read requirement lists from a needsfile. It skips version calls in no-version mode, supports pipe-friendly output and logs timing per command.
