What Listary is

Listary is a Windows file search tool and app launcher that finds files and folders by name, path, or format, then ranks results according to usage habits. Its launcher searches apps and files in one place and accepts fuzzy matches. The maker says file searches can return results in 0.01 seconds. Quick Save & Open lets you move to a target folder from Windows file dialogs while opening or saving files. It supports standard Windows dialogs, plus adaptations for Bandizip, AutoCAD, WinRAR Extract Dialog, and WPS File Dialog; some custom dialogs may not work. Supported storage includes OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, file servers, NAS, USB drives, and external hard drives. Listary mainly searches names, paths, and formats; full-text search is available through companion app Gety, with partial integration in the V7 beta. The free plan covers personal use and basic search and app launching. Pro costs $19.95, paid once-time payment and adds commercial use, lifetime updates, and use on up to three computers you own.
