Listary is especially beneficial for professionals, such as developers, IT workers, and power users, who require quick file access and improved search capabilities. It's also useful for any Windows user looking to enhance their system's file management efficiency.
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.
