Minimal File Organizer for Linux & Windows

Introduction

Managing files can get messy, especially when dealing with a large number of documents, images, videos, or code files scattered across different directories. A file organizer helps sort and structure these files based on file type, size, and date, making it easier to manage and locate them.

This blog introduces a minimalist file organizer tool that efficiently categorizes files inside a given directory without consuming significant resources.


Why Use a File Organizer?

  • Declutters Your System: Organizes files into specific folders based on their characteristics.
  • Saves Time: Quickly finds and sorts files instead of manual searching.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Runs efficiently without complex dependencies.
  • Cross-Platform: Works on Linux & Windows.

How It Works

  1. Set the Source Directory: Choose which directory (and its subdirectories) to organize.
  2. Categorize Files: Based on:
    • File Type: Images, PDFs, Videos, Code files, etc.
    • File Size: Small (<1MB), Medium (1MB-100MB), Large (>100MB).
    • Date & Time: Sorts files by creation/modification time.
  3. Move Files to Organized Folders: The tool automatically arranges them into respective categories.

Customization Options

  • Modify File Categories: Add or remove file types.
  • Adjust File Size Limits: Change large file classification (e.g., >500MB).
  • Change Date Sorting: Organize files based on last modified, created, or accessed dates.

Conclusion

This lightweight file organizer is perfect for automating file management with minimal effort. Whether you’re a student, developer, or working professional, keeping your files organized and accessible improves workflow efficiency.
