AI File Sorter is a cross-platform desktop application that uses AI (local LLMs run on your computer) to organize files and suggest meaningful file names based on real content, not just filenames or extensions.
The app can analyze images locally and propose descriptive rename suggestions (for example, IMG_2048.jpg → clouds_over_lake.jpg). It can also analyze document text to improve categorization and renaming. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and common text files.
For supported audio and video files, AI File Sorter can read embedded metadata (such as ID3, Vorbis, and MP4 tags) to suggest normalized names like year_artist_album_title.ext.
AI analysis runs read-only, and all suggestions must be reviewed before being applied.
AI File Sorter can run fully offline using local models like Mistral or LLaMA, so files and metadata stay on your device unless you configure a remote endpoint.
