RCHIVE

This desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux catalogs, searches and reorganizes files across computers, NAS devices and drives. It scans many sources, provides unified deep search across the entire catalog including drives that are online or offline, lets users virtually organize and clean up large archives, and resiliently copies or moves files when restructuring on disk, with quick browsing via previews and metadata. It works offline, collects zero telemetry, deletes nothing, is fully deterministic in operation, and can run as a portable version from a USB drive.
