AI Analysis

●●SolidWizardrySolve My Problem

Direct MFT parsing beats Everything by 2.8× in 30/30 benchmark cells.

Strengths
  • Reads NTFS Master File Table directly — no indexing daemon required for cold searches
  • Verifiable benchmarks: 68.5s cold build, 5.7s warm cache, 0-3ms daemon queries
  • MPL-2.0 license with winget install and Open Collective sponsorship
Weaknesses
  • Windows-only limits audience — Everything already dominates this niche for free
  • 16 stars and 9 open issues suggest early-stage project with limited adoption
Target Audience

Windows power users and developers needing fast file search
