It uses a taxonomy-based system, so the more files you sort, the more consistent and accurate the categories become over time. It essentially builds up a smarter internal reference for your file types and naming patterns. Also, file content-based sorting for some file types is coming up as well.
The app features an intuitive, modern Qt-based interface. It runs LLMs locally and doesn’t require an internet connection unless you choose to use the remote model. The local models currently supported are LLaMa 3B and Mistral 7B.
The app is open source and Metal-optimized for macOS. Supports CUDA and CPU on Windows.
