It's ten minutes before the call, and the client wants the signed contract. You open Downloads and the list scrolls on and on: scan_0042.pdf, final_FINAL(2).docx, IMG_8813.jpg, another copy of the same invoice. You type a word into the search box, then another. Your shoulders tighten. Somewhere in there is the right file, and you're not sure it's the latest one. You find it with a minute to spare, and quietly promise yourself you'll sort this out on Friday. You made the same promise last month.
Now the folders hold what their names say, and duplicates have stepped aside. Opening Downloads feels like opening a drawer you trust, and you can get on with the call.
Tidy a messy Downloads or project folder in minutes - with a preview first and an undo afterwards.
What is included
- PowerShell scripts: sort by type or date, bulk rename with patterns and regex, find duplicates by file hash, archive old files
- Bash equivalents for Linux, macOS, WSL and Git Bash
- Preview mode (-WhatIf / --dry-run) and a CSV undo log for every run, plus an undo script
- One plain-text rules file (categories, date folders, exclusions, archive age) shared by both versions
- Scheduled-task setup guide (Task Scheduler, schtasks, cron, systemd) and a one-command task registration script
- Demo-folder generator so you can practise risk-free, and a README with copy-paste examples
Who it is for
Office workers, freelancers and photographers whose Downloads or project folders are full of unsorted files with inconsistent names.
How to use
Unzip, create the demo folder, run a script with -WhatIf (or --dry-run) to see every planned change, run it for real, and use the undo script if you change your mind. Optionally schedule it with the guide.
