Mouzi - Organize Downloads folder automatically

byโ€ข

Iย don't know about you, but my Downloads folder has always been a disaster zone. PDFs, memes, installers, zip files, random images โ€“ all just sitting there in one giant pile. Every few weeks I'd open it, sigh, and spend 10 minutes manually dragging stuff into folders. Then a few days later it would be chaos again.

I looked at existing file organizers, but most of them either wanted a subscription, tried to upload my file names to some cloud, or were just way too heavy for something so simple. I wanted something that:

  • Runs silently in the background (system tray)

  • Automatically sorts new files by type (images, documents, archives, installers)

  • Never sends a single byte of data off my machine

  • Is open source so anyone can check what it's doing

So I builtย Mouziย ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿงน

It's a tiny desktop app (~5MB) built with Tauri and Rust, so it's ridiculously lightweight. It watches your Downloads folder, and whenever a new file appears, it moves it to a subfolder based on its extension. Images go to Images/, PDFs to Documents/, installers to Installers/, etc. You can also create your own custom rules.

Key things:

  • 100% localย โ€“ no cloud, no telemetry

  • Open sourceย (MIT) โ€“ย GitHub repo here

  • Silentย โ€“ lives in your tray and doesn't bother you

  • Undoย โ€“ every move is logged, you can revert with one click

  • Free, obviously

It's early stage, but it's already keeping my own machine sane. I'd love to get some feedback from this community โ€“ especially around what features would make this genuinely useful for you. Does this solve a real problem, or am I just scratching my own itch?
