Floxtop never creates or changes your folder structure. You decide where files should live by creating categories. A category has two things: 1. A short description of what kind of files belong there 2. A specific folder on your Mac as the

I’ve seen a huge advantage in running everything fully local and private. Not sure if that fits your use case, though. Nearly 90% of Floxtop users choose the app mainly for that privacy focus.

Not Apple Foundation Models — unfortunately they’re not capable enough (yet) for understanding content and matching it to folders. I’m using SBERT-style embedding models for the semantic matching, which works very well in practice. For non-

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 indivi

Hi, thanks for the feedback. 1. A Homebrew option isn’t available yet, but it’s something I’m open to exploring. Homebrew doesn’t currently support payments or license handling for paid apps, so Floxtop doesn’t fit perfectly into their work

This is cool! I’ve added these to the backlog—I also think tagging with Finder tags/xattrs is a great feature. Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas! If you want to stay updated when these features are ready, feel free to subscribe to th

Correct — right now Floxtop classifies images based on text only. It does not yet classify based on visual objects. If automatic object-based sorting (e.g. detecting pets, buildings, etc.) would be useful for you, I’d be interested to hear

Thanks for your interest! Currently, Floxtop is not available on the Mac App Store. I’m considering it for the future, but the high cut Apple takes makes it challenging for an independent app like this. Out of curiosity, is your preference

Thanks Jon, Custom categories are available starting with version 3.0 beta. To add one, open Fallinorg Settings → Add New Category. Then enter a name, description with keywords or sample sentences, and make sure the destination folder is se

Glad it looks useful! Downloads, Desktop folders get messy fast, so it’s perfect for a first clean-up. How do you usually decide where each file goes in your Johnny Decimal system? I’d love to hear your workflow. Thank you :)

Thanks for sharing, jonpurdy — I know how fast that backlog can build up! Most tools I’ve seen (like Sparkle) sort by file name, but that only works if names are clear. Fallinorg looks inside the file itself, so it understands what the cont

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and support, Brajeshwar — it really means a lot. You’re right, Fallinorg currently only supports Apple Silicon Macs. The main reason is that the M-series chips have neural engines and very high mem
