Rules & Automation

Define exactly how your files get organized — from simple extension sorting to complex multi-condition workflows.

Custom Rules Engine

Six condition types: extension, name pattern (regex/glob), file size, creation date, modified date, and parent folder. Chain with AND/OR logic for multi-layered precision.

  • Set destinations using dynamic variables like {date}, {ext}, {name}
  • Import/export rule sets as JSON for backup or sharing between machines
  • Duplicate and modify existing rules to create variations quickly

Real-Time Monitoring

Watch any number of folders — Downloads, Desktop, project dirs, network drives. Files are sorted the instant they appear.

Scheduled Sorting— Run rules on a schedule instead of real-time. Perfect for batch processing large folders at off-peak times.
Rule Chaining— Output of one rule can trigger another. Build multi-step workflows without manual intervention.

Safety & Control

Every file move is tracked, reversible, and previewable. You never lose a file.

Smart Collision Handling

Four policies per rule: Smart Rename (timestamp suffix), Overwrite, Skip, or Interactive Prompt. A collision log records every resolved conflict.

  • Policies are set per-rule — different folders can have different behaviors
  • Smart Rename preserves the original extension and appends a human-readable timestamp
  • Detailed collision log for audit purposes

Undo & Dry Run

Preview what will happen with Dry Run mode. Full undo reverses any operation instantly — even after restarting.

Operation History

Every sort is logged with timestamps, file counts, and source/destination paths. Browse, search, and re-apply past operations.

Performance & Privacy

Built as a native Windows application. Fast, lightweight, and completely offline.

Native Windows App

No Electron, no browser engine. Typical memory footprint under 30 MB even with dozens of active rules. Processes thousands of files per minute.

100% Offline

Zero network calls — no telemetry, no analytics, no phone-home. All configuration stored locally in portable JSON.

System Tray Integration— Runs silently in your system tray. Live status indicator, recent activity count, and quick pause/resume access.
Startup with Windows— Optional auto-start with configurable delay to avoid boot contention.
