Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm excited to introduce NudgeFile. The idea came from a simple problem: our Downloads, Documents, Screenshots, and project folders become messy faster than we can organize them. NudgeFile helps solve that by automatically monitoring folders, generating meaningful filenames with local AI, detecting duplicates, and automating repetitive file management tasks. A few things that make NudgeFile different: ✅ Runs locally on your device ✅ Privacy-first approach ✅ AI-powered file renaming ✅ Workflow automation ✅ Undo-safe operations ✅ Built for Windows I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, and thoughts on how you currently organize your files. Thank you for checking it out!

For a power user managing multiple projects, what does an ideal “NudgeFile + existing tools” setup look like (Explorer, cloud sync folders, dev/design tools), and what folder(s) or workflows do you recommend people start with to get value in the first 10 minutes without risking their whole filesystem?

Congrats on the launch! 🎉

This is one of those problems almost everyone has but rarely takes the time to solve properly. Downloads and screenshots folders can get messy surprisingly fast 🥲

Wishing you lots of success with NudgeFile! 🚀

Privacy-first local AI is exactly the right call for this kind of tool. My main hesitation is the same as @curiouskitty, what's the rollback story if an automated rename goes wrong on a folder with 500 files? The "undo-safe" mention is reassuring but I'd love to see a dry-run mode before any operation runs for real.

Is there a preview or approval step before it renames and moves a bunch of files?

Auto-organizing files with AI is a quiet productivity win — I have years of project-finance model templates and the naming/version chaos is real. I ended up curating my own templates publicly on Eloquens (https://www.eloquens.com/channel/samir-asadov-cfa) partly just to force myself to keep them organized. Does NudgeFile learn a user's existing folder conventions, or impose its own taxonomy? The former is what would make me switch.
