About:
Cling is an instant fuzzy finder that provides rapid file searching capabilities across the entire filesystem, including system directories and hidden files that are typically excluded from standard search tools. It uses an efficient fuzzy matching algorithm to deliver near-instant results as you type, eliminating the need to remember exact file paths or navigate complex directory structures manually.

Key Features:

Instant fuzzy search across all files including system and hidden files
Lightning-fast results with minimal typing required
Native macOS integration with Spotlight-like speed
Simple keyboard-driven interface for efficient navigation

Use Cases:

Quickly locating configuration files scattered across system directories
Finding project files when you only remember partial names
Accessing hidden dotfiles and system resources without using Terminal
Searching for documents across multiple folder hierarchies

Alternatives:

fzf – Command-line fuzzy finder requiring terminal usage
Spotlight – macOS native search but excludes many system files by default
Alfred – Full-featured launcher with broader scope but heavier resource usage
