File reOrganizer — Effortless Folder Cleanup & File Renaming
What it does
- Automatically scans selected folders and moves files into organized subfolders based on rules (type, date, project, or custom tags).
- Renames files in bulk using templates (date, sequence numbers, original name parts) to enforce consistent naming.
- Detects and handles duplicates (skip, replace, or keep both with suffix).
- Cleans empty folders and optionally archives rarely used files.
Key features
- Rule-based sorting: create rules like “Images → Photos/YYYY-MM” or “Invoices → Finance/ClientName”.
- Bulk renaming templates: presets and custom tokens (e.g., {date}{client}{seq}).
- Preview mode: simulate changes before applying them.
- Undo/History: revert recent operations.
- Filters & exclusions: ignore system files, certain extensions, or size thresholds.
- Scheduling: run automatic cleanups on a timer or when new files appear.
- Cross-platform support: desktop app for Windows, macOS, (optionally Linux) and a CLI for automation.
Typical use cases
- Weekly cleanup of a downloads folder.
- Standardizing filenames for photo libraries or receipts.
- Organizing shared project folders by client and milestone.
- Preparing batches of files for upload by renaming to required formats.
Benefits
- Saves time spent on manual sorting and renaming.
- Reduces duplicate clutter and inconsistent naming conventions.
- Makes file search and backups faster and more reliable.
Basic workflow
- Select one or more folders to manage.
- Add sorting rules and rename templates.
- Run preview and adjust any rule conflicts.
- Apply changes or schedule automated runs.
- Use Undo if needed.
Security & privacy notes
- Processes files locally (preferred) and can be configured not to upload files.
- Always run a preview and backup important data before applying large-scale operations.
