    File lister program. Fast. You get date file created/modified/accessed which is likely more than most. They also list the encoding. Sorts by extension, but not by type (image, etc) Latest Version: v7.1 (31.82 MB) Release Date: December 18, 2025

The latest version (v6.1.1) doesn't handle very high resolution screens which makes the text in the app appear tiny. Other than that, it's a great text finder tool!
