Folder Reorganiser

Declutter your directories with automated rules and virtual staging.

Download for macOS View on GitHub

Requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later

Features

Smart Rules

Create rules to automatically move files based on extensions or names (e.g., all .jpg to "Images").

Safety First

Changes are "staged" virtually. No files move on disk until you click "Execute Changes".

Virtual Staging

Create new folders in the staging area that only exist on disk after execution.

Undo/Redo

Full support for undoing actions before execution, plus smart conflict handling.
