About

Glint is a file explorer for Windows that opens folders in milliseconds and shows the size of every folder.

Name searches use fd, or an opt-in NTFS index service (like Everything's) that finds any file on any drive in milliseconds.

Text searches inside files use ripgrep, with regular expressions, replace and a syntax-highlighted preview.

File operations go through Windows' own shell engine, so the Recycle Bin, conflicts and permissions work as in File Explorer.

Security

No known CVEs for Glint.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
