Filect automatically organizes your files into clean folder structures using AI. You can run it on autopilot or set custom rules, either way, your Desktop, Downloads, and Documents stay clean without lifting a finger. It can also find any specific file instantly. Just describe it in plain English "that invoice I made for client X last Tuesday" and Filect finds it in seconds. Built for creators, coders, designers, video editors, drowning in files. Mac and Windows. Free 10-day trial.
I built Filect because file chaos is something every creative professional deals with but nobody has a good solution for: folders get messy, files get lost, and manual organization never sticks.
Filect fixes this automatically. AI organizes your files into clean folder structures in the background, with no setup required. If you want more control, you can add custom rules. If you don't, just leave it and let it run.
It also works as a search tool, you type something like "that invoice I made for client X last Tuesday" and Filect finds it instantly without needing the exact filename.
Works on Mac and Windows.
Would love to hear from anyone who's tried Hazel, Sparkle, or just suffered through a permanently chaotic Downloads folder. Happy to answer all of your questions.
Curious how it handles files it's unsure about does it ask you or just make a best guess? The biggest fear with AI file organizers is it quietly moving something somewhere you can't find it.
Congrats on the launch, Damianos. Japan-based founder here.
One Japan-specific thought: for file organization tools here, the blocker may not be “can AI sort files?” but whether it can handle messy Japanese file realities safely: Japanese filenames, mixed JP/EN folders, invoices, receipts, client assets, screenshots, and privacy-sensitive local files.
The strongest Japan angle I’d test first is not generic “organize your files with AI,” but “clean up chaotic local work folders without uploading private files or breaking Japanese filenames.”
That could matter a lot for freelancers, designers, video editors, and small teams here.
The autopilot vs custom rules split is the right shape. For someone burned by "AI moved my files and now I can't find them" — does Filect keep an audit log or undo trail you can roll back? That's the trust-builder for letting it run unattended.
"Desktop, Downloads, and Documents" are the three folders it mentions — what about project folders buried deeper in your drive? A lot of the real chaos for video editors lives in nested client folders, not just the top-level directories.
It's incredibly obnoxious to bury the price until after one has registered and installed the app....do better
What's the undo story? Can I see exactly what Filect plans to do before it touches anything?
