AI File Sorter
Local AI file organization with categorization and rename suggestions
AI File Sorter is a cross-platform desktop application that uses AI (local LLMs run on your computer) to organize files and suggest meaningful file names based on real content, not just filenames or extensions. The app can analyze images locally and propose descriptive rename suggestions (for example, IMG_2048.jpg → clouds_over_lake.jpg). It can also analyze document text to improve categorization and renaming. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, ODT, ODS, ODP, and common text files. For supported audio and video files, AI File Sorter can read embedded metadata (such as ID3, Vorbis, and MP4 tags) to suggest normalized names like year_artist_album_title.ext. AI analysis runs read-only, and all suggestions must be reviewed before being applied. AI File Sorter can run fully offline using local models like Mistral or LLaMA, so files and metadata stay on your device unless you configure a remote endpoint. -

SwiftSearch
Searches NTFS volumes almost instantly
SwiftSearch is a lightweight program whose purpose is to help you quickly find the files you need on your Windows machine without ever requiring you to index your drives. Most search utilities that achieve similar speeds do so by indexing drives while the computer is idle, but because idleness detection is so difficult to get right, in practice they end up slowing down the whole system just to speed up search. SwiftSearch works differently: given administrator privileges, it completely bypasses the file system (only NTFS supported) and reads the file table directly every time, which speeds up search by many orders of magnitude. Typically searches yield full results in ~10 seconds or less, a significant speedup for many users. As a bonus, this program also supports path-based search (for example, you can search for "*Program*\Windows*"), regular expressions (just start the search name with '>' character), and full directory sizes. Its goal is to be simple, swift, and intuitive to use. -

Windows File Manager
Original Windows file manager (winfile) with enhancements
The Windows File Manager lives again and runs as a native x86 and x64 desktop app on all currently supported version of Windows, including Windows 10. I welcome your thoughts, comments and suggestions. There are two primary versions of the source code in the master branch, original_plus tag, which refers to the source for WinFile as of Windows NT4 with minimal changes so that it compiles with Visual Studio and runs on current Windows. And current master, which contains my personal changes / additions to WinFile. If you are running Windows 10, you can download the app from the store. If you just want to download the WinFile application without worrying about compiling from the source code, we have a number of precompiled versions available. The Windows File manager was originally released with Windows 3.0 in the early 1990s. -

A multi-purpose file manager for the Nintendo Switch
NX Shell is a multi-purpose file manager for the Nintendo Switch that aims towards handling various file types while keeping the basic necessities of a standard file manager.

This file integrity checker uses Alternate Data Streams to store the hashes of your files. So, it only works on NTFS volumes. With that, you can rename, copy or move your files (to another NTFS volume) without losing the hashes, and without needing to do anything else. The Whirlpool algorithm is a strong 512-bit hash function. This tool uses several optimized implementations with SSE4.1 or SSE2 instructions when available. Each folder is recursively processed. You can use drag-and-drop, mix files and folders, pause and resume. 64-bit: https://sourceforge.net/projects/whirlpoolfilech/files/0.5/WFileCheck64.exe 32-bit: https://sourceforge.net/projects/whirlpoolfilech/files/0.5/WFileCheck32.exe At first use, please let the integrated benchark determine the fastest procedure for your hardware. "Fast" will only take a few seconds. Minimum requirement: Windows XP or later.

pesconvert
Brother PES file converter
pesconvert is a command-line utility for converting Brother PES embroidery files into more accessible formats for viewing or further processing. It parses stitch commands, color changes, and frame boundaries from the binary PES structure and reconstructs the path of the needle across the canvas. The tool emits vector-friendly output so you can inspect or scale designs without losing detail, making it handy for previewing patterns or preparing them for other software. Because the PES format encodes jumps, trims, and thread changes, the converter normalizes these events into a clean sequence of segments. The implementation favors clarity so hobbyists can understand and extend it for their own machine workflows. It’s a practical bridge between proprietary embroidery design files and open tooling. -

stroke
Dynamically changing modification, access, and change time components
Oftentimes it is desirable to exclusively change a few specific components of a file's modification, access, or change time. However, the method provided by the conventional touch utility appears inadequate for this basic task. More than that, easily modifying a file's change time is not possible at all. Stroke is a small tool that offers a solution by providing a user with an extended command line interface that allows her to utilize an easy syntax to dynamically specify certain date and time components to be altered. All in all stroke can be seen as a potent alternative to touch that leaves a user with more options. -
