autotidy is a cross-platform file organization daemon that watches directories and applies user-defined YAML rules to incoming files.
It’s designed to automate common housekeeping tasks such as sorting downloads, archiving media, cleaning up old files, and organizing content into directory structures based on file properties and timestamps.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Matches files using filters such as name, extension, size, date, MIME type, and file type.
- Supports actions including move, copy, rename, delete, and trash.
- Includes a dry-run mode to preview what rules will do before applying changes.
- Runs as a standalone compiled binary with no runtime dependencies.
- Supports Linux and macOS, with experimental support for Windows.
