  1. Great one!

    After a few years I still use Listary as my main search/launcher. It's very quick, has a very nice look and great system of filters and projects. There are problem with new version to be released, but I'm talking about version number 5.

    👍 Pros:    Lightweight|Quick and easy|Amazing speed|Beautiful search experience
