Automate Your File Organization with One Command Every Day

Stop manually organizing files. One command does it all.

The Problem

Downloads folder with 500+ unsorted files. Screenshots, PDFs, CSVs, images — all mixed together.

The Solution 

file-batch-toolkit organize ~/Downloads --by-type
# Creates: Images/, Documents/, Data/, Archives/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Custom Rules 

file-batch-toolkit organize ~/Downloads --rules my_rules.json
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
{
  "invoice_*.pdf": "Invoices/",
  "report_*.csv": "Reports/",
  "IMG_*": "Screenshots/"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
file-batch-toolkit organize ~/Downloads --rules my_rules.json --dry-run
file-batch-toolkit organize ~/Downloads --rules my_rules.json
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
npm install -g file-batch-toolkit
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
