Your whole disk, found instantly.

GrimDex is a fast, standalone file manager for Windows, written in Rust with a GPU-accelerated interface. It reads the NTFS index directly, so search keeps up with your typing. And it still speaks native Windows: real shell context menus, drag and drop, the works.

Built for people who live in their files

SEARCH TELEMETRY
 

Instant whole-disk search

GrimDex indexes the NTFS master file table and keeps it live through the USN journal. Results appear while you type, across every drive.

Feels native

The real Windows context menus and shell verbs, straight from the OS, plus drag and drop out to any application. Your muscle memory carries over.

0MB on disk

Lean and standalone

One small executable that runs on its own, with nothing installed as a service and nothing phoning home.

Most file managers stack features on top of the same slow foundations.

GrimDex starts at the disk itself.
