# Homedex

> Homedex is a visual file browser for Windows that finds any photo, video, document or download with big previews, plain-English search and on-device text recognition, works offline, and costs a one-time payment.

Homedex sits next to File Explorer and is for seeing and finding files rather than managing folders. Good fit for people who ask: "how do I find a screenshot by the text in it", "how do I find duplicate photos on Windows", "where did I download this file from", "what is taking up space on my PC", or "is there a better File Explorer for Windows".
