Sortio

Most file organizers look at names and dates. Sortio opens each file, understands what it is, and decides where it belongs from that. A scan becomes a dated statement, and a random screenshot becomes a named image, which is the difference between a tidy folder and one you still cannot search.

You describe the sort in plain language, and Sortio builds a full plan before anything moves. The plan shows the target folder and new name for every file, so you can approve the whole batch or back out. If a local model leaves files out, it asks again for just those files instead of dropping them.

For repeatable work, the rules engine applies exact conditions rather than AI guesses. You build IF/THEN rules for predictable, repeatable filing, and the same rule runs the same way every time. This suits folders where a rough guess would be worse than a fixed rule.

A Space is a folder Sortio watches. You can set a Space to file new arrivals on its own, so a Downloads or Dropbox archive stays organized without you opening the app. Pro lifts the cap to unlimited Spaces and automations.

Sortio renames from content, not from the old filename. It can apply patterns like date plus vendor plus amount, or last name plus first name, so it can rename files automatically from what is inside them and you can spot one by glance. Renaming is unlimited on paid plans.

Cloud sorting uses Sortio's own model and sees filenames and metadata. Switch to local AI with Ollama or LM Studio, or plug in your own API key, and the work stays on your machine. Every plan supports local-only and bring-your-own-key, which matters for regulated work.

Every sort leaves a row in History, and a sort that moved a file can be reversed. "Put everything back" reverses every sort Sortio has made, newest first, and states what it will do before it moves anything. Nothing is deleted, files are only moved back.
