Searchmonkey III

Searchmonkey III is a modern desktop search tool for finding text in your files instantly. Originally used by thousands of Linux users, it has been rebuilt from the ground up for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Unlike traditional search tools, it performs real-time searches directly on disk — no indexing, no background services, and no stale results.

Powered by ripgrep, it delivers fast, accurate results with support for regular expressions, file filtering, and live previews.

Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux (AppImage, .deb, .rpm). On Linux, no installation is required — just download and run the AppImage.
