File browser, terminal, text editor and admin toolkit for Windows. Install or run portable. GPLv3. No account, no agent, no telemetry.

KillerShell puts a file browser, a PowerShell or CMD terminal, a text editor and an admin toolkit in one window, on one tab strip and one set of keys. Search any folder by filename wildcard or by file content, streamed live with no index to build. Processes, services, performance and the registry are one key away. Runs portable or installs for you or every user - no runtime, no agent, no account. Open source under GPLv3.
