Your files are a mess. You know it. Let's fix it.
Automatically organize your messy files into a clean folder system. Find anything in seconds. No coding, no scripts, no stress.
Sound familiar?
Your Downloads folder has 500+ files and you're afraid to look at it.
You've spent 20 minutes searching for a file you KNOW you saved.
You've tried organizing manually but gave up after 30 minutes.
You're scared to move files because you might lose something important.
Here's what FolderSort does for you
Every feature designed to make file organization effortless, safe, and permanent.
Preview Before You Sort
See exactly where every file will go BEFORE anything moves. Preview the sort, approve it, then execute. Nothing happens without your permission.
Sort Automatically
Files get organized by type, keywords, and your custom rules. Documents go to Documents. Invoices go to Finance. You decide the system.
Multiple Source Folders
Sort your Downloads AND your Desktop at the same time. Point FolderSort at any folder, or several at once.
Custom Categories and Rules
Use the built-in templates or create your own from scratch. Add keyword rules so files with "invoice" always go to Finance.
Tagger
For files that don't fit rules (like IMG_4392.jpg), tag them yourself. Select files, pick a category, done. Tags always take priority over automatic sorting.
Built-in Search
Find any file instantly by name, type, or category. Full-text search across your entire organized system.
Table of Contents
Every folder gets a readable table of contents explaining what's inside and why. Know exactly what lives where.
Cross-References
When a file could belong in two places, FolderSort creates a reference so you can always find it from either location.
Full Undo
Every sort creates a backup. Don't like what happened? One click and everything goes back exactly where it was. Every. Single. File.
Cleanup Advisor
After sorting, FolderSort spots duplicate files, empty folders, and temporary junk. Clean up the mess within the mess.
File Watcher
Set it to watch your folders. New files get sorted automatically in the background. Your system stays organized without you lifting a finger.
AI-Powered (Optional)
Connect an AI to classify tricky files, generate summaries, and suggest better organization. Works with free local AI (Ollama) or cloud services like OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini.
Sandbox Mode
Nervous? Try FolderSort on fake test files first. Built-in sandbox lets you practice sorting without touching your own files.
Check for Updates
One click in Settings checks for new versions. Free updates download automatically. You always have the latest.
Nothing else on the market does all of this.
FolderSort is the only file organizer that checks every box.
