Thank you for supporting UFFS — Ultra Fast File Search.

About


UFFS reads the NTFS Master File Table directly, bypasses all Windows file-enumeration APIs, and answers targeted queries in 0–3 ms daemon-side — scale-tested to 100 million+ files.

  One Rust engine powers the CLI, background daemon, TUI, and an MCP server that exposes deterministic local filesystem search to AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.).

  Published benchmarks show UFFS winning 12/12 head-to-head cells against Everything (voidtools) on documented targeted-query workloads.

  **Sponsorships fund:**
  - Windows code-signing certificate (removes SmartScreen install warnings)
  - Benchmark infrastructure and hardware
  - Release engineering and packaging
  - Enterprise pilot support

  Core engine, CLI, daemon, and MCP server are open source under MPL-2.0 — forever.

  Built and maintained by Sky, LLC.
