Aba Search and ReplaceUnderrated
A Windows search-and-replace tool for regex, multi-file edits, timestamps, Base64, URLs, and JWTs.

Best for
Developers and analysts making repetitive edits across many text files without sending data to a cloud tool.
Why it deserves attention
Aba Search and Replace runs regex search and replace across multiple files with lookaround, multi-line matching, and UTF-8 or UTF-16 support. It also converts Unix and JavaScript timestamps, encodes or decodes Base64, URLs, HTML entities, and JWT tokens, and keeps undo, history, and favorites. Syntax highlighting covers common languages, and Explorer, Total Commander, Free Commander, and command-line workflows are supported. It is a one-time Windows licence with no cloud dependency. The trade-off is Windows only, and the interface is utilitarian rather than polished.
