Repo

Inspired by Everything, but hackable and scriptable. Uses NTFS USN journal reads for efficient incremental indexing and SQLite FTS5 for querying. Terminal and API first, no GUI overhead.
Implementation
Evidence
Architecture defined, scaffold implemented. Active design-stage project with a clear roadmap.
Constraints & next step
Architecture is laid out and early scaffold code exists. The next real step is shipping the index-and-query loop with correctness tests. Still early.
