AI File Sorter is a cross-platform desktop application that uses AI to organize files and suggest meaningful file names based on real content, not just filenames or extensions.
The app can analyze image files locally and propose human-readable rename suggestions (for example, IMG_2048.jpg → clouds_over_lake.jpg). It can also analyze the text content of documents to improve categorization and renaming. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and common text files. All suggestions are optional and must be reviewed before being applied.
AI File Sorter helps clean up cluttered folders such as Downloads, external drives, or NAS storage. It can run fully offline using local AI models like Mistral 7B or LLaMA 3B. No files, images, document contents, or metadata are uploaded, and no telemetry is sent unless a remote AI endpoint is explicitly configured.
