An extremly small, very fast and easy to use media cataloging tool. You can use it to index files stored on removable media (CDs, DVDs or even diskettes), hard disks or net drives, and create searchable catalogs that can be used without having access to original media.

A new version is out, Cathy 2.33 (July 29, 2019). Download from: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Cathy.shtml

So, Cathy is not discontinued.

Simple no-nonsense app to make searchable catalogs of all of your drives, DVDs, USB sticks, and so on!

Both indexing and searches are as fast as Everything!

Very small & fast, no install. Can catalog a DVD in a few seconds. Have used this reliably since 2003.

What is Cathy?

An extremly small, very fast and easy to use media cataloging tool. You can use it to index files stored on removable media (CDs, DVDs or even diskettes), hard disks or net drives, and create searchable catalogs that can be used without having access to original media. Searching capabilities are based on file name, date and size. Additional features include filtering options, search duplicates or singles, customizable date format, etc. Found files can be opened (executed) or deleted directly, if they are present. Drag&drop support. Directory trees, MP3 album/song lists can be printed, disk space usage can be investigated. Single file executable, no install needed.

Works well in Linux through the Wine.
