FileSensei runs in the background, watching your Downloads and Desktop. The moment a file lands, it figures out what it is — with local AI — and moves it exactly where it belongs. No cloud. No uploads. Nothing ever leaves your machine.
You're too good at your work to spend it dragging files into folders.
Your Downloads folder has hundreds of files in it right now. Installers, screenshots, random PDFs. Deleting feels risky, so they just pile up.
It takes ~23 minutes to regain deep focus after an interruption. Hunting for "that one file" breaks your flow exactly the same way.
You organize once. Then life happens. Weeks later it's chaos again. No manual system survives without someone enforcing it.
Install and launch. FileSensei starts watching your Downloads and Desktop immediately — and quietly auto-starts at every login.
Known types sort by deterministic rules. Anything unfamiliar gets read by a local AI model — on your machine, via Ollama. Nothing is ever uploaded.
Files land in the right category folder — silently, automatically, every time. Preview first if you want. Undo anything in one click.
Runs entirely local via Ollama. Every sort decision is made on-device. Not a single byte leaves your computer — ever.
No matching rule? A local LLM reads the filename and a tiny content preview, then picks the right category. Beyond just file extensions.
Every move is journaled in batches. Sorted something you didn't want moved? Undo the last batch instantly and roll the stats right back.
Nervous? Turn on dry-run. FileSensei logs exactly what it would do and moves nothing — so you can trust it before you let it loose.
Built-in rules cover everything out of the box. Add your own and they take priority — with live config reload, no restart needed.
Duplicate-safe renaming on name clashes. Skips temp and in-progress downloads. Won't re-grab a file you just restored.
Sorts into clean categories — out of the box
