    AI File Sorter

    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.

    ADB Sync

    ADB Sync

    Synchronize files between a PC and Android device using ADB

    adb-sync is a command-line utility designed to synchronize files between a PC and an Android device over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). It simplifies the process of transferring and mirroring directories without requiring root access or complex configuration. By comparing file states between the host and the device, adb-sync efficiently updates only changed files, reducing transfer time and bandwidth usage. The tool also supports reverse synchronization, allowing users to copy data from an Android device back to their PC. While this project has been deprecated in favor of better-adb-sync, it remains a lightweight and effective option for managing file transfers and backups over USB debugging connections.

    fff

    fff

    A simple file manager written in bash

    A simple file manager written in bash. Minimal (only requires bash and coreutils). Smooth Scrolling (using vim keybindings). Tab completion for all commands! Automatic CD on exit (see setup). Works as a file picker in vim/neovim (link)! Display images with w3m-img! Supports $CDPATH. You only need to modify the keybindings that you'd like to change from the default. fff will run perfectly fine without any of these defined. When rebinding a key in fff make sure you don't have two bindings with the same value. You can avoid this by setting the other conflicting key-binding to something else or by changing its value to off.

    dotdrop

    dotdrop

    Save your dotfiles once, deploy them everywhere

    Dotdrop is a dotfiles manager that provides efficient ways of managing your precious config files. It is especially powerful when it comes to managing those across different hosts. The main idea of dotdrop is to have the ability to store each dotfile only once and deploy them with different content on different hosts/setups. To achieve this, it uses a templating engine that allows specifying, during the dotfile installation with dotdrop, based on a selected profile, how (with what content) each dotfile will be installed. Each dotfile is stored only once, dotdrop allows to template your config files such that the same dotfile is customized when deployed on the host you’re working on. Different profiles can be defined that allow for fine-grained control over which dotfiles have to be installed on different hosts (home, work, vps, etc). Some hosts/profiles will have all your dotfiles installed while others might just need a subset of the dotfiles.

    dupehasher

    Shell script for managing duplicate image files in a directory.

    dupehasher scans the given directory for files that are identical except by filename. dupeshasher will generate a report plaintext file named 'dupelist.txt' in the working directory (which contains, per line, tab-delimited names of files whose contents are identical). Depending upon the arguments supplied by the user upon invoking dupeshasher, it will also delete all duplicates, keeping either the oldest or newest of all sets of duplicates. Additionally it can batch-rename all remaining (post-deletion) files in a chronologically-sequential manner; or according to the md5sum or sha256 sum of every file. File extensions (.jpg for example) are preserved, and there is a user option to ensure that the extension is correct (for example, a .jpg file is indeed a jpeg and not, for example, a png). Finally, an interactive mode exists for users who are not comfortable with the command line.

    srcdb

    A tool for source code downloading and integrity checking

    SRCDB is a simple database and a utility managing the database. SRCDB (db) is designed to keep track of URLs of tarballs [presumably containing source code] and checksums (md5) of the files contained in the taballs. It is implemented as a filesystem subtree. The key to the database consists of 2 fields: name and version separated by dash. In the filesystem the key is implemented as a 'name/version' subtree. SRCDB (util) is designed to: 1) Populate its database with the data describing tarballs: name of the tarball, URLs of origin and contents checksums. 2) Download and perform integrity checks of tarballs described by the database, given the database key. 3) Inform other tools about location of a tarball in the local filesystem (or its absence), given the database key. SRCDB (util) is implemented as a shell-script for immediate availability. It is meant to be a personal tool for those who like to tweak software themselves.

    android-timestamp-keeper

    Read and write timestamps to files in android

    Modern android devices don't use anymore Mass Storage Mode. Instead they use the internal sdcard as a virtually mounted subfolder inside /data partition. It would be ok if MTP preserved correctly timestamps, which doesn't. Other options that could work, like FTP with MFMT command doesn't work properly on android either. Droid Explorer is enough for files, but doesn't support folders. This handy bash script helps you to backup and restore the last modified timestamp for folders recursively. If you want to use an android native app, there's File Timestamp, however the txt format is different. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.pogsoftwares.filetimestamp

    m

    commandline mount helper for Slackware

    Short command to mount a hot-plugged filesystem on a predetermined place and way. By issuing m on command line it mounts or unmounts a preset device, presumably an USB flash drive or disk. The idea is to have a short command toggle the device from not mounted to mounted and the other way around. Sort of like a classical ball pen.
