Highlights

Customer Reviews

I was using "EVERYTHING" windows search software. RecentX is better than that. Notezilla is also an excellent software. I pray God to give you more strength to develop more such type of softwares.

Features & Screenshots

Quick access using the sidebar

RecentX Launcher can be accessed using a convenient desktop sidebar. With a single click, you can go to any category (Files, Folders, Programs, or Websites). RecentX Launcher can also be accessed using hotkeys.

Effortlessly launch any file or folder

RecentX Launcher lets you open any file, folder, program, or bookmark.

It avoids tedious navigation through deep folders, menus, files list, or shortcuts. You only have to type and go. Thereby saving immense time and improves efficiency.



Automatically knows your favorite files

RecentX Launcher automatically shows the files & folders that you have accessed recently & frequently, which is an exceptional feature.

You do not have to spend time configuring it with your favorite items, as it is quite hard to keep updating a program with favorite files & folders.


Finds in recent items first

Most often, we open the same files & folders again and again.

For this very reason, RecentX Launcher lets us find just the recently access files & folders instead of searching the complete hard drive. Thereby saving a lot of time.

Alternatively, you can also search for all items (files, folders, programs & websites).


Tag files and folders

Tags let you group files & folders based on categories, file types, etc.


RecentX, therefore, comes handy if you often find yourself opening the same set of folders for a particular project and avoids folder navigation.


Conveniently access clipboard history

RecentX remembers all the text & images that you copy to clipboard. RecentX keeps track of text you copied 1 hour back, 1 day ago, etc. Just pick them directly from RecentX when needed. Can you imagine how big a time-saver it would be?


Select file faster in file open/save window

This feature is something you will love. The file open/save dialog window that is shown by all Windows applications is very tedious to us.


RecentX makes it very easy to select any file in this window. When the file open/save window opens, find & choose the file using RecentX. See the short animation on the right.

Work with files easily

Copy files, rename, or delete them directly from RecentX Launcher without running any file manager such as Windows Explorer.


Drag and drop files from RecentX Launcher to any other window to copy files, attach files, create shortcuts, etc. Use tools such as Copy Paths, Command Prompt here, Send To menu from within RecentX Launcher.



Quickly find & launch programs

RecentX Launcher lets us run an app much faster than Windows. The list is cleaner as it does not show other files or folders like Windows.


It assigns a unique shortcut key number to each program and makes launching even faster.

Access bookmarks created in any browser

Directly open Internet bookmarks & history from within RecentX Launcher.


You don't have to access the Internet Browser's cluttered bookmarks & history menus.


Supports Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge Browser, and Internet Explorer.


Open a website in any browser

The websites list will allow you to open a particular site in any installed Internet browser - Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer.


Convenient when some websites work only in a specific browser. Useful when testing a web page in multiple browsers.

Quickly attach files to an email

The traditional way of attaching files to the email is very tedious.


With RecentX, you can attach any file to email within a few seconds. It may be anywhere on your hard drive. Just drag and drop the file from RecentX on to your email client window such as Gmail, Outlook, etc.

Launch with very few keystrokes

Launch anything using a keystroke.


Each listed item is assigned a unique number (as shown in the picture). Typing that number opens the thing immediately.


Dark mode supported

For those in love with dark mode :)


Soothing to eyes. Good for your health.

What is unique about the RecentX Launcher?

Zero navigation. Zero configuration.

Traditional computing teaches us to open several folders before opening a file and dig into menus before launching a program or bookmark. But all this is a pointless effort.

With RecentX Launcher, any file, folder, program or bookmark is equidistant from us. Meaning, it takes the same amount of time to launch any item irrespective of where it is. Zero navigation. Zero configuration. This innovation brings a new life to computing. It saves a lot of time.

Have we calculated the wasted effort?

Some of the trivial tasks have been stealing our time

When accessing one file from a list of 100 files, a significant amount of time goes waste viewing the other 99, listing the other 99, eliminating the other 99 mentally.

When accessing a particular folder, you waste a significant amount of time on opening its parent folders, listing of parent folders and their siblings, etc. And we are habituated to do this task again & again each day. RecentX Launcher gifts you back all this stolen time and boosts your productivity.
