    Very different applications. Everything searches for files, Listary is more a file launcher and can be integrated in most popular files explorers.

    Everything runs into more settings issues than Listary. Mainly though, if you want a list of files that stays open in a pull down menu, go with Everything. If you want to click it and be done, Listary is the easier option.
