Sortify 🚀

Go Release Go Version License Downloads

Sortify 🗂️ is a fast, safety-first CLI tool that automatically organizes files in a directory into categorized folders (Images, Documents, Videos, Archives, Code, etc.). Written in Go, it compiles to a single static binary with no runtime dependencies. Supports dry-run previews, filename sanitization, real-time watch mode, and custom configuration.

Features ✨

  • 📂 Smart categorization -- files are sorted by extension into logical folders
  • 👀 Watch mode -- monitor a directory in real-time and organize files as they arrive (recursive)
  • 🛡️ Safety guards -- prevents accidental organization of system roots, home, or Windows system directories
  • 💬 Interactive mode -- if you run without flags, you get a guided prompt
  • 👁️ Dry-run mode -- preview all changes without moving a single file
  • 🧹 Filename sanitization -- remove emojis, collapse spaces, normalize case
  • 🔢 Number patching -- zero-pad numbers in filenames (lesson1 -> lesson001)
  • ⚙️ Custom configuration -- JSON-based config for categories, ignore patterns, and more
  • 💻 Cross-platform -- Windows, macOS, Linux (amd64 + arm64)
  • 📦 Single binary -- no dependencies, no runtime required
