## About

**Dotient** is a desktop tool built out of genuine sickness and frustration with Windows File Explorer. Finding a file you only half-remember using standard search is a nightmare, and hunting through the text of countless PDFs is even worse. Dotient changes how you interact with your storage by letting you find files based on what they actually look like—rather than the random name you happened to give them two years ago.

It is designed for anyone who wants a fast, modern way to navigate their local files and get a true bird's-eye view of everything on their machine.
