Cling - Lightning Fast Fuzzy Search for macOS

Cling is a powerful macOS-focused application designed for instant file searching with unmatched efficiency. It uses the powerful features of fd and fzf for quick fuzzy searches, allowing users to find any file, including system files, hidden files, dotfiles, and application data, which traditional tools like Spotlight often miss. Cling maintains a live index of the entire disk, automatically updating and ensuring current data without excessive re-indexing. Key features include robust searching for partial or misspelled queries, keyboard shortcuts for quick file actions, and customizable workflows with user-created scripts in preferred programming languages. The distraction-free UI works smoothly with macOS, focusing on functionality and minimalism. It offers hotkey features such as Quick Filters, batch renaming, and Quick Look. Cling lets users exclude certain files or folders from the index using .fsignore, similar to .gitignore. It also optimizes memory and CPU usage by moving inactive index data to disk when needed. Despite a high-performance focus, Cling minimizes background CPU activity and manages memory intelligently, offering optimal usability for power users.
