Listary vs Seelen UI

Listary is a Windows file search tool and app launcher that brings files, folders, and apps into a single search workflow. It finds files by name, path, or format and ranks results based on usage habits; the maker says searches can return results in 0.01 seconds. The launcher supports fuzzy matching. Quick Save & Open lets users move to a target folder from Windows file dialogs when opening or saving files. It supports storage including OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, file servers, NAS, USB drives, and external hard drives. Standard Windows dialogs are supported, with adaptations for Bandizip, AutoCAD, WinRAR Extract Dialog, and WPS File Dialog, though some custom dialogs may not work. Listary works offline. Full-text search is mainly available through companion app Gety, with partial results integration in the V7 beta. The Free plan is for personal use; Pro costs 19.95 USD once and adds a commercial license and use on up to three computers owned by you. V6 supports 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, while V5 versions are listed for Windows 7 and XP.

Seelen UI is a free customization layer for organizing windows and changing the Windows desktop interface. It is designed for Windows 10 and Windows 11 and does not modify system files or fully replace the desktop. Its automatic tiling manager offers BSPWM, Tall, Wide, and Grid layouts, plus float, stack, monocle, and per-app rules. The shell includes a dock, scriptable toolbar, start menu, custom Alt+Tab switcher, and window previews. Background options include MP4 and WebM video, interactive HTML/CSS/JS, music-synced visuals, and collections assigned to monitors or workspaces. Built-in widgets include media controls, clock and calendar, system monitoring, notifications, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. The media module supports pausing, resuming, and skipping tracks with most music players. Documentation covers themes, widgets, plugins, and development; community support is directed through Discord, repositories, and other channels. Modified, debloated, or custom Windows installations are not recommended because removed components or disabled services may cause errors.
