sort

Local-first desktop organizer

conversation -> reviewed plan -> approval -> journaled undo

See the plan before a single file moves.

sort starts with a messy folder, drafts an organization proposal locally, lets you refine or approve it, and only then moves files into clear folders with journal-backed undo.

Local-first • preview every move • undo-ready

Plan-first

Conversation refines the proposal. Execution waits for approval.

Local-first

Analysis and planning stay on-device instead of being sent through a cloud workflow.

Safety visible

Moves are previewed, journaled, undo-oriented, and never framed as deletion.

Messy

Start from the folder as it actually is: mixed files, no hidden execution.

Animated product demo: sort starts with a messy folder, drafts a local proposal, waits for approval, then moves files into organized folders with journal-backed undo.

Scan & Understand

Content-aware analysis beyond filenames. Text, PDFs, code, archives, and targeted OCR evidence inform proposals where extractors are wired.

Multiple Proposals

Four organization styles generated locally from evidence. Minimal cleanup, by project, by purpose, by date. Pick one or mix.

Conversational Refinement

Tell it what you want in plain language. “Put invoices in Finance.” “Never move screenshots.” It learns.

Your files, your control

  • Plan-first — preview every change before it happens
  • Undo evidence — approved moves write journal evidence for recovery
  • Backup options — deduplicated backups with space estimation
  • No deletions — move and organize, never destroy
