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

It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder for you.

Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers.

It works in 50 languages (including English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish) and with images (OCR and object recognition), PDFs, Microsoft Office, ePubs, text, Markdown, and many other file types.

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

This looks very interesting and I appreciate the pricing model and lack of cloud. It wasn’t clear from the site, but is there a check all moves prior to execution function? Undo?

There is no automatic execution — nothing is moved without your confirmation.

Floxtop suggests the top 5 destination folders where a file could best belong. You stay fully in control: you can choose one of the suggestions, move files individually or in bulk (Move All), or select a completely custom folder location at any time.

If you change your mind, you can Undo per file or use Undo All to revert the entire operation.
