Building https://floxtop.com/, a Mac app that organizes your files and images.

It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder with a single click. Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers.

It already works with images, Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) PDFs, ePubs, text, Markdown, and many other file types (30+) in English. Next I’m adding multi-language support.

If you have messy folders anywhere on your Mac, Floxtop can help.

Try it for free - requires macOS 14+ with Apple Silicon: https://github.com/taranntell/fallinorg/releases/download/1....

Looks very useful.

Just for clarity, it looks like image content itself isn't addressed, but rather just any text that might be in an image, correct?

Also: "Your sensitive data never leaves your Mac." Does anything leave the mac? Any metrics? I don't want this to have network capabilities at all.

Correct — right now Floxtop classifies images based on text only. It does not yet classify based on visual objects. If automatic object-based sorting (e.g. detecting pets, buildings, etc.) would be useful for you, I’d be interested to hear your use case.

Regarding privacy: everything runs locally on your Mac. No files or metadata are uploaded anywhere. The only network request is from Sparkle to check for updates. If you prefer, you can disable update checks and Floxtop will have zero network activity.

If you have questions or want to share feedback, you can reach me anytime at [e-mail].

It's cool to see this. I once saw an X thread on this and hacked a dirty tool for it: https://x.com/priyankc/status/1893112673434222985

You know what would be a godsend would be marrying this app up with the Johnny Decimal filing system
