About QuickMove
Right-click a file and it goes where that kind of file belongs. QuickMove is a rules-based file mover for Windows. The first time it meets a new kind of file the Rule Wizard builds the rule with you, by name, extension or pattern (regular expressions included); after that the move happens without a prompt. Files that fit no rule get a list of your favourite folders. Every move is in a history with undo, multi-step included. Rules can be overridden or edited from the context menu, can route files into sub-folders by name, and can rename an existing file in the target folder out of the way instead of overwriting it. The optional Automation plugin (US$24.99) watches folders such as Downloads and applies your rules by itself. Works from the Windows 11 first-page context menu. One-off US$29.99 licence with free minor updates; free edition and a 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support within 24 hours.

SortSage
SortSage is a Windows desktop application that organizes files in local folders using customizable rules based on file type, name patterns, size, and date. Users can combine conditions and actions to move, copy, or rename files, import JSON rules, and monitor folders for new files to sort automatically. Dry-run previews show proposed actions before files are changed, and Activity History supports undo for eligible actions. Collision settings handle files with matching names. SortSage processes files locally and works offline after activation. Users can create rules themselves or adapt a downloadable JSON template with an external AI tool; the app has no built-in AI connection. It is designed for people who want to automate recurring file cleanup in folders such as Downloads, Desktop, screenshots, and export directories.

Document Naming Manager
Document Naming Manager (DNM) is a locally installed Windows application for consistent, rule-based file naming. Users can choose or customize naming standards, add files individually or use a watch folder, review suggested filenames, and save changes. The software includes local OCR and previews, checks for risky filenames and naming collisions, and provides Recovery Vault undo for eligible recent saves, subject to settings and storage limits. Naming and OCR are performed locally; documents are not uploaded and cloud AI is not used. Internet access is required for activation, license verification, and updates. DNM is intended for legal, strata and HOA management, accounting, insurance, construction, and other office workflows that need consistent document names.

FileToFolder
Create a folder from a file, and put it back, from the right-click menu. Select one file or many in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose FileToFolder: each file gets a folder named after it and is moved inside. FolderToFile does the reverse: it pulls files out of their folders into the current one, from sub-folders too if you want, and deletes the empty folders it leaves behind. Dissolve moves a folder's contents up one level and removes the folder. It works from the Windows 11 first-page context menu with no "Show more options" step, and as a normal application with command-line options for scripts. One-off US$19.99 licence with free minor updates; free edition and a fully functional 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support, answered within 24 hours. Made in Australia; current release 7.3, September 2026. Need rules-based moving as well? That is QuickMove, from the same people.
