Mouzi - Organize Downloads folder automatically
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 ๐ญ๐งน
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) โย 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?
