Organize is a command-line tool for automating file management tasks through rule-based configuration.
The tool solves the problem of manual file organization by letting users define rules that automatically sort, rename, move, and process files based on configurable conditions. Users write rules in a simple configuration format that specify matching criteria—such as file type, size, age, or name patterns—and corresponding actions to take on matched files. The tool then executes these rules across directory trees, handling repetitive file management work that would otherwise require manual intervention or custom scripts.
Organize suits developers and system administrators who manage large numbers of files and want to automate organizational workflows without writing code. It works well for scenarios like sorting downloads folders, organizing media libraries, archiving old documents, or enforcing naming conventions across projects. The tool is platform-independent and runs on any system with Python, making it useful for teams with mixed operating systems. Users should choose this tool if they prefer declarative configuration over scripting and need straightforward file operations; those requiring complex conditional logic or integration with specialized systems may find custom solutions more appropriate.
The project shows consistent maintenance with regular updates addressing user-reported issues and feature requests. Development includes active bug fixes and incremental improvements to existing functionality rather than major architectural changes. The maintainer responds to community contributions and incorporates feedback into releases. Documentation is kept current alongside code changes, ensuring that examples and guides reflect the tool's actual behavior.
