This might be what I've been looking for. On the first of every month I have Hazel put everything in ~/Downloads/yyyy-mm (previous month), with the intent to move each file to the correct project/area folder in my actual file structure. But I'm about 1.5 years behind on that...

Have you looked at competitors? If so, what are they? I haven't found anything that does this as elegantly as Fallinorg.

Thanks for sharing, jonpurdy — I know how fast that backlog can build up!

Most tools I’ve seen (like Sparkle) sort by file name, but that only works if names are clear. Fallinorg looks inside the file itself, so it understands what the content is about before sorting. I haven’t found another Mac app doing that.

Curious — if Fallinorg could automatically handle your ~/Downloads/yyyy-mm folders each month, would that take care of the backlog for you?

It definitely would. Trying it out and not able to use it yet due to the main blocker: need custom categories.
