About:
organize-tool is a command-line file management automation tool written in Python that helps users automate file organization tasks using a simple, declarative YAML configuration. It can move, copy, rename, delete, and tag files based on rules, making it ideal for automating repetitive file sorting workflows. Its main value proposition is providing a flexible, scriptable alternative to manual file management or GUI-based automation.
Key Features:
  • Declarative YAML configuration for defining rules
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, Windows)
  • Rule-based file actions (move, copy, rename, delete, tag)
  • Python-based with extensible plugin system
  • Simulation mode to preview changes without execution
Use Cases:
  • Automatically sorting downloads folder by file type and date
  • Organizing photo libraries based on metadata like EXIF data
  • Cleaning up temporary or duplicate files in project directories
Alternatives:
  • hazel – GUI-based macOS automation tool, while organize-tool is cross-platform and CLI-driven
  • filebot – Focused on media file renaming/organization, whereas organize-tool is general-purpose
