my Downloads folder was completely unmaintained, chaotic, and painful to navigate.
Instead of manually cleaning it every few weeks, I decided to build a CLI tool that does it properly and safely.

🔗 npm : Link

👉 npm install -g segre
👉 segre ./foldername

• Automatically organizes files by category (Images, Documents, Code, Videos, Archives, etc.)
• Supports date-wise organization (Year / Month structure)
• Dry-run mode to preview changes
• Undo feature to revert the last operation
• Interactive mode to confirm each file move
• Custom categories via JSON config
• Verbose logging, progress bars, safe file handling

Basically:
Your dirty, messy Downloads folder (or any folder) will not be dirty anymore.

While improving Segre, I learned a lot beyond just adding features:

• How to write proper docstrings that explain intent, not just logic
• How to write documentation that other users can actually understand
• Designing CLIs with safe defaults and rollback support
• Thinking from a user’s perspective, not just as a developer
• Structuring a project like a maintained open-source tool, not a script
• Writing Jest tests changed how I design functions - testability now drives my architecture. This update helped me understand that good software is not just about working code - it’s about usability, clarity, and trust.

Would love feedback, suggestions, or feature ideas.
