FolderSort.
An AI-powered file organizer for Windows. Drop a folder, set your categories, let it sort. Works with your own AI key. No cloud, no subscription, no surprises.
What it does
Folders that sort themselves, on your terms.
Point FolderSort at any folder. Tell it your categories (Finance, Work, Creative, whatever you want). It reads each file, decides where it goes, shows you the plan, and waits for your go-ahead. Then it moves the files.
Nothing happens without preview. Nothing happens without undo. Nothing happens unless you say go.
02 / What's included
Everything in the box.
- Preview-before-sort. See every move before it happens.

03 / How it works
Four steps. Reversible at every one.
- Pick a folder. Anywhere on your machine. Files don't leave your computer.
- Set your categories. Use the defaults or define your own. Save them once and they stick.
- Preview the plan. Every file shows the category FolderSort would put it in. Reject any move you don't like.
- Sort. Run it. Undo is one click away if you change your mind.
