AutoSort

Automatic file organizer for Windows

Keep any folder clean with automatic file sorting based on custom rules.

Your Downloads folder has 847 unsorted files. PDFs, images, installers, random files everywhere. Finding anything is a nightmare.

AutoSort watches any folder you choose and automatically sorts files into organized subfolders based on your rules. Set it up once and never manually organize files again.

• Auto-organize — Files are automatically moved to the right folder based on extension, name, or size
• Custom rules — Create your own sorting rules with pattern matching
• Grace period — Files wait before moving, giving you time to cancel if needed
• Real-time watching — Monitors folders continuously for new files
• One-time scan — Instantly organize existing files with a single click
• Undo support — Accidentally moved something? Undo it instantly
• Move history — Track all file movements with full history
• Dark theme — Neo-brutalist UI with dark mode support
• Notifications — Get notified when files are organized while the app is minimized or in the background (like other desktop apps)
• Any folder — Works with Downloads, Desktop, or any folder you choose

Download the latest release from the Releases page:

• .msi — Standard Windows installer (recommended)
• .exe — NSIS installer

1. Set watch folder — Go to Settings and select the folder to organize
2. Configure rules — Add rules for different file types (defaults included)
3. Scan — Click "Scan" to organize existing files
4. Start — Click "Start" to watch for new files automatically

AutoSort comes with sensible defaults:

AutoSort can show Windows notifications when files are moved. Notifications appear only when the app is in the background (minimized or another window in front)—so you won’t be notified while you’re using the app. Turn this on or off in Settings → Notifications → Show notifications.

• Node.js 18+ (or Bun)
• Rust 1.70+
• Tauri 2 system dependencies
