Description
A program I used stopped getting updates, so I made my own version of it. It's a fast plaintext search utility in a GUI. It's great for finding text in code projects, log files, configs, anything plaintext! Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Free version limitations are a splash screen and limited history entries.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
