MFT-native indexing
Read NTFS metadata at filesystem scale, preserve parent relations and avoid rebuilding full paths for every stored record.
Storage intelligence · local first
Search every disk like it is one filesystem.
Harddisk.Tools turns live, offline and archived storage into one queryable catalog. Explore paths, MFT metadata, hashes, duplicates and storage history without waiting for Explorer to catch up.

One toolchain
Built for storage that no longer fits in a single window.
A high-scale desktop shell, a compact local index, deduplication pipelines and forensic-grade metadata views can share the same underlying catalog.
Offline disks stay visible
Detach a volume and keep browsing its catalog, metadata and known duplicate relationships.
Composable queries
Combine extension, size, path, dates, hash state, volume state and metadata into one fast search expression.
Duplicate intelligence
Group cheaply first, hash only candidates, and make exact verification a deliberate final step.
Forensic context
Expose MFT IDs, parent chains and change history without forcing forensic workflows into a separate product.
Native AOT shell
A Windows-first UI designed for low startup overhead, dense result grids and direct interaction with local storage.
Index engine
Store relationships, not repeated path strings.
The catalog can represent a filename once and keep parent relationships compact. Full paths become a query-time projection instead of duplicated storage.
- Binary parent chains
- Prefix-friendly sort identifiers
- Page-compression compatible structures
- Local snapshots for fast desktop access
Interactive test
Simulate a local volume scan.
This demo is browser-side JavaScript, but it exercises the site resource pipeline, event binding and dynamic UI.
