Sift - Organize messy folders safely from your terminal

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Sift because I kept ending up with messy folders — Downloads, Desktop, project folders, temporary files — and I wanted a better way to organize them without blindly trusting an automated tool with my filesystem. That became the core idea behind Sift: automation should be useful, but safe by default. Sift is an open-source, local-first CLI written in Rust. You can enter a folder, run sift, and see what it plans to do before anything changes. Dry-run is the default, and changes only happen when you explicitly use --apply. Along the way, I added configurable rules, watch mode, history and undo, protections for sensitive files, and several safeguards against accidental changes. What started as a tool for cleaning up my own messy folders became something I thought other developers might find useful too. I’d love feedback, especially around the safety model, automation rules, and what kinds of folder workflows you’d like Sift to handle next. Thanks for checking it out! ❤️
