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.

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. -

Xplorer
Xplorer, a customizable, modern file manager
Xplorer is a modern, cross-platform file manager built from the ground up to meet contemporary file-browsing needs across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Rather than relying on heavy, traditional desktop frameworks, Xplorer uses a hybrid architecture: a web-based frontend (TypeScript + SCSS/HTML) for UI, combined with a backend implemented in Rust to handle file operations, which keeps the application lightweight, memory-efficient, and faster to start. It supports multiple tabs, allowing users to open and manage many directories simultaneously. A key strength is built-in file preview: beyond just listing files, Xplorer lets you preview many file types directly (images, text files with syntax highlighting, and even video preview for supported formats), saving the extra step of opening external viewers. The design emphasizes customization: users can choose themes, customize layouts (grid or detail view), pin favorites in a sidebar, and tailor the experience to their workflow. -
