Folders File Manager
Folders is a file manager with super clean and functional UI built around the folder tree. This type of file system navigation enables some features unique among macOS file managers such as expandable, rearrangeable Favorites or expandable symlinks which highly improve the navigation efficiency.
Folders has everything you'd expect from a macOS file manager, including multiple windows and multiple tabs, four consistently behaving file views, convenient access to your Home and iCloud Drive folders, designated sections for recent files, color tags, text tags, and star ratings, file preview including audio and video files playback, a dedicated Info panel with EXIF and other metadata, text recognition, and more.
More advanced features include Cut via Bin with cmd-X, powerful Batch Rename, advanced file conflict resolution, basic image operations, and comprehensive undo that includes undoing file replacements and folder mergers.

SortSage
SortSage is a Windows desktop application that organizes files in local folders using customizable rules based on file type, name patterns, size, and date. Users can combine conditions and actions to move, copy, or rename files, import JSON rules, and monitor folders for new files to sort automatically. Dry-run previews show proposed actions before files are changed, and Activity History supports undo for eligible actions. Collision settings handle files with matching names. SortSage processes files locally and works offline after activation. Users can create rules themselves or adapt a downloadable JSON template with an external AI tool; the app has no built-in AI connection. It is designed for people who want to automate recurring file cleanup in folders such as Downloads, Desktop, screenshots, and export directories.
