Find files without waiting on File Explorer

File Explorer covers every kind of file task. GrimDex keeps indexed search in the file view so finding and acting stay in one workspace.

The focused path starts before you search

GrimDex reads the NTFS file table directly and keeps its index current through the Windows change journal. Results appear in the file view as you type, so search stays inside the same workspace as browsing and file actions.

That avoids a recursive directory walk every time you search and keeps the results in the working view while you type.

Search stays in the file view

Find the file before you remember the folder

Search across indexed drives as you type, then continue working with the result in place.

Keep the work in one place

Open a folder, expand its contents in place, search across indexed drives, preview a document, and return to the same workspace.

Free beta, one-time license

The beta is free and complete. A license (Personal $39 or Lifetime Updates $100, one-time) activates inside it and keeps GrimDex running when the beta ends. See pricing.

Download the beta

The beta is for people who spend their days in directories: developers, sysadmins, photographers, modders, and anyone who wants search, previews, and file actions to stay together.
