Preview


Installation

pip install foldr

Requires Python 3.10+. Works on Windows, Linux, macOS


Why FOLDR?

Every Downloads folder eventually turns a junk drawer.

Duplicates. Screenshots. PDFs. ZIP files. Random installers.

Most file organizers either move everything blindly or force you into complicated rules.

FOLDR takes a different approach.

  • Preview every operation before anything changes.
  • Undo any organize operation.
  • Never overwrite existing files.
  • Watch folders continuously in the background.
  • Keep your filesystem predictable.

Automation should save time, not create anxiety.


Quick Start

# Preview what would happen (nothing moves)
foldr ~/Downloads --preview

# Organize (shows preview, asks to confirm)
foldr ~/Downloads

# Undo the last operation
foldr undo

# Watch a folder — organize now and keep watching
foldr watch ~/Downloads

Paths with spaces must be quoted:

foldr "D:\My Downloads" --preview
Done?

Why you can trust FOLDR

  • Preview by default — FOLDR shows you what it will do and asks before moving anything.
  • Folders are never touched — only files are moved; directories stay where they are.
  • Conflict-safe — if a file with the same name already exists at the destination, FOLDR renames the incoming file (photo_(1).jpg, etc.) rather than overwriting.
  • Undo anything — every operation is reversible via foldr undo.
  • Dedup is the only irreversible action — always use --preview before --dedup.

If you've found a security vulnerability, please don't open a public issue.
