fnm is an alternative to nvm. It's benefits over nvm include:

fast auto switching upon changing directories (via --use-on-cd)
official homebrew support (see https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#:~:text=Homebrew%20installation%20is%20not%20supported)

fnm's API is largely the same as nvm's, so to save muscle memory, we could create an alias. But you should never even need to type fnm as auto switching works so well!

Have you seen/considered asdf?

asdf is a CLI tool that can manage multiple language runtime versions on a per-project basis. It is like gvm, nvm, rbenv, pyenv and tfswitch all in one. It auto switches when changing directories and supports existing config files 💛

brew install asdf
asdf plugin add nodejs
asdf install nodejs latest
asdf global nodejs latest
