"Super fast Search- Free to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Listary?

The universality- attaching a file in Thunderbird, just browse and double tap control. Wherever your file is it will find it. Same for any dialogue box. I don’t have to think where I saved something. I just need to remember a partial name. As long as you name your files even remotely meaningfully, Listary turns your whole system into an instantly searchable library.

What do you dislike about Listary?

Sometimes the file is found but opening it takes a long time. Sometimes clearing Windows cache helps, other times not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A lightweight and easy to use search tool."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Listary?

The best thing about Listary is the ease with which it helps you locate files because it integrates seamlessly with Windows Explorer and other file managers to effortlessly jump between folders and open files. The search can be performed just by typing the first few letters of the filename and you can even set up hotkeys for launching Listary. This is a huge time-saver, especially if you have documents/files nested within multiple folders. Sometimes, Listary can even locate files that Windows search is unable to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Listary?

Not many downsides of using Listary except that it records your keyboard and mouse inputs. Some people who are a bit too concerned about data security may find it concerning to have a third party app have access to their files. Moreover, some features like setting up search filters are only available in the pro version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing productivity with this little powerful app"
5/5
What do you like best about Listary?

I love that it shows up in every file selection window. It helped me accelerate and remove the burden of finding and organizing folders and files. It always shows the file and folder that I intend to use. The usability and the little details to open the location of the files and all the options it makes stellar. I really love the web and systems macros too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Listary?

I would love it if the software shows in the office applications, it's easy to get to the file explorer, but a direct view in MS Word or Excel at home will be the cherry top. Other than that, superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Windows Experience Made a Bit Better With Listary"
4/5
What do you like best about Listary?

What I like best about Listary is its seamless integration with various tools, making file navigation and searching across different applications effortless and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Listary?

There are a few things that make it a bit on the low side:

- The search results are not always that good

- The UI can be enhanced as per the new Windows 11 experience

- More Integration video guides would be appreciated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Your search results are a list away."

What do you like best about Listary?

Easy to install. Locate and launches most of the apps with ease. Low on memory and space utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Listary?

The results in themselves are not always optimized. The results sometimes have data which don't have any relevance to the search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Search results are hit and miss"
3/5
What do you like best about Listary?

It is handy for locating saved file locations and launching most apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Listary?

Sometimes the search results are littered with garbage files. Misses some fairly recent files altogether and I have to use my other file search utility. I wish the curser would jump to the search box on file save. I always end up accidentally renaming the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Listary A List Resource"
5/5
What do you like best about Listary?

It is a simple and effective way to find results based on your search in a fast and easy manner without extra windows being open. The application is also a small file and does not take up too much space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Listary?

It force runs from the start, and it will accidentally activate and run without you actually click it for it to begin working, but it does not take away from how useful this program really can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
