Quick Preview
Press Space to inspect images, documents and source files without opening another application.
Powerful file search

Native Windows integration
Familiar context menus, network drives, clipboard support and safe file operations — built for your desktop.
BUILT DIFFERENTLY
Native to the core.
Fast by design.
No Electron. No WebViews. No unnecessary web runtime. Glide is built with Rust and Slint, with a focus on predictable performance, efficient rendering, and a lightweight desktop experience.
