Features

Focused Replace

Replacing lines inside both content and code can be done simultaneously with focused replaced. Search for something you want to change then tweak all the lines at the same time. Either by replacing line by line or everything at once. Big refactoring is made really simple this way and allows iteration to be much faster.

Tabs

Multiple tabs allow you to keep several searches open at the same time and maintain your work state. A built-in tab-switching widget makes it easy to jump between recent tabs and continue working without interruption.

Groups

Organize your data by creating groups that represent one or more folders, and name them however you like-such as Code, Content, Localization, Documentation, or individual project names. Each group acts as its own dataset, allowing you to quickly visualize and filter results based on the selected groups. This makes working with large codebases or multiple projects simpler, more structured, and far more efficient.
