Do you often find yourself manually cleaning up your messy desktop?
I built a small Python script that organizes your desktop by sorting files into folders by type (images, docs, videos, etc). It takes a few seconds to run and instantly gives your workspace a clean look — no more chaos!
🔧 What It Does
This script scans a folder (your desktop or any other) and moves files into categorized subfolders:
🖼 Images (PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF)
📄 Documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, XLSX)
🎞 Videos (MP4, MOV, AVI)
📦 Archives (ZIP, RAR)
💻 How to Use It
python desktop_cleaner.py
# → Enter the path to your desktop (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\Desktop)
That’s it. It will automatically sort files into folders within that path.
💡 Why I Made It
This is one of several utility scripts I’ve written to automate small daily tasks. The idea is to save 5–10 minutes a day on repetitive stuff and free your mind for more creative work.
I’ve bundled 5 such scripts into a free/open pack:
Script Purpose
📊 excel_analyzer.py Summarizes Excel columns (amounts, scores)
🗂 bulk_renamer.py Renames multiple files using a prefix
🌐 api_fetcher.py Fetches JSON from APIs and saves as CSV
🧹 desktop_cleaner.py Sorts files into folders
🖼 image_resizer.py Resizes all images in a folder
📦 Get the Full Pack

I also made a Gumroad version with a README and one-click download:

🧠 Thoughts?
I’d love feedback, especially on what other small scripts could be useful. I plan to expand the pack over time.
Happy automating!
