Folder Organizer

About this app

Folder Organizer turns a messy folder into a tidy one. Point it at your Downloads, your Desktop, or a folder full of scans. Pick how you want things grouped. You then get a full list of what will happen — every file and exactly where it's going — before anything moves. NOTHING MOVES WITHOUT YOUR SAY-SO Every run starts as a plan. See each file and its destination, uncheck the ones you'd rather leave alone, remove files from the list, or send one somewhere else. Nothing touches your disk until you press the button. UNDO, EVEN LATER Every run is recorded. Undo the one you just did, or open the history and reverse a run from last week. Undo still works after you quit and reopen. SORT THE WAY YOU WANT • By kind — images, video, audio, PDFs, documents, archives, installers • By date — year, quarter, month, week or day, in several formats • By file extension, Finder tag, first letter, or size • Or combine them: by kind, then by year, for nested folders SORT BY WHAT'S INSIDE THE FILE Choose Smart and the app reads your files — the text in a PDF, the words in a scan — and files them by what they are: invoices, receipts, contracts, bank statements, tax forms, screenshots, photos and more. If it gets one wrong, correct it in the list before you apply. Your files are read on your Mac and never leave it. RENAME AS YOU GO Build new names from the original name, a date, a counter, the parent folder or the file type. You see an example as you type. LET IT RUN BY ITSELF Set a folder to watch — Downloads is the usual one — and new files get sorted as they arrive. Prefer to stay in control? Turn on Ask First and a small alert appears in the corner showing what's about to move, with a button to approve it. Automatic runs are undoable too. SAY IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS Type something like "sort invoices and receipts into their own folders" and the app sets it up for you to check before running. BUILT LIKE A MAC APP SHOULD BE • Drag files or folders straight onto the window • Press Space for Quick Look, just like in Finder • Save the setups you use often and reuse them • Lives in the menu bar so watch folders keep working • Shortcuts actions for your own automations PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Folder Organizer has no network access at all. Your files, what's in them, and what you do with them stay on your Mac.

Folder Organizer has been rebuilt from the ground up — faster, fully native, and a lot more careful with your files. PREVIEW BEFORE ANYTHING MOVES Every run now starts as a plan: every file, and exactly where it's going. Uncheck what you'd rather skip, remove files from the list, or send one somewhere else. Nothing happens on disk until you press the button. UNDO Every run is recorded and reversible — including automatic ones, and including after you quit and reopen the app. SORTING BY WHAT'S INSIDE YOUR FILES A new Smart option reads your PDFs and scans and files them by what they are: invoices, receipts, contracts, bank statements, tax documents, screenshots, photos and more. If it gets one wrong, correct it before you apply. Files are read on your Mac and never leave it. WATCH FOLDERS Point a rule at Downloads and new files get sorted as they arrive — either automatically, or only after you approve them in a small alert that appears in the corner of the screen. RENAME WHILE YOU SORT Build new names from the original name, a date, a counter, the parent folder or the file type, with a live example as you type. MORE WAYS TO GROUP Dates by year, quarter, month, week or day in several formats. Nested grouping, such as by kind and then by year. Plus extension, Finder tag, first letter and size. SET IT UP BY TYPING WHAT YOU WANT Type something like "sort invoices and receipts into their own folders" and the app builds the setup for you to check first. ALSO NEW Saved setups you can reuse, a run history window, Quick Look with the Space bar, drag and drop onto the window, Shortcuts actions, and an option to run quietly from the menu bar with no Dock icon. TWO THINGS TO KNOW This version needs macOS 14 or later. The file list table and its Excel/CSV export are no longer part of the app. Thanks for using Folder Organizer. If something doesn't work the way you expect, get in touch — I read every message.
