What Smart Utility Hub includes
Wildcard file search: Scan selected folders with filters for extensions, depth, and exclusions.
Duplicate finder: Hash-based detection with quick open/delete actions inside the app.
Local-first: No indexing services or telemetry—everything runs on your machine.
Auto theme: Follows Windows light/dark mode at launch.
How to get started (Windows 10/11, 64-bit)
Download: Grab SmartUtilityHub.exe from the release Assets on GitHub.
Run: Double-click to launch—no installer required. You can right-click → “Send to → Desktop” for a shortcut.
Search: Choose one or more folders, enter a term or wildcard (for example, report*.pdf), and filter by extensions.
Clean duplicates: Use the duplicate finder to hash files, review matches, and open or delete as needed.
Verify the download (recommended)
The executable is currently unsigned, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning (“Unknown Publisher”). Choose “More info → Run anyway” after verifying integrity.
PowerShell:
Get-FileHash .\\SmartUtilityHub.exe -Algorithm SHA256 Compare the hash to the .sha256 value in the release Assets.
