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
