What it does

  • AI-powered categorization. Sort files using either local AI models on your computer or remote models with your own API key.
  • Offline-Friendly. Use a local LLM to categorize files entirely - no internet or API key required.
  • Robust categorization. Built-in rules and category matching help keep results more consistent across runs.
  • Configurable categorization controls. Use whitelists, taxonomy normalization, consistency modes, and review-time edits to steer categories and subcategories.
  • Two categorization modes. Pick More Refined for more specific labels with less pressure to stay in broad default categories, or More Consistent for steadier top-level categories across similar files.
