How I Built CleanDrop: A Safe, Zero-Dependency CLI to Tame Your Downloads Folder

Описание и применение

CleanDrop – это безопасный CLI, который автоматически сортирует файлы в папке Downloads, поддерживает предварительный просмотр, откат и защиту от перезаписи.

Задача

Developers’ Downloads folders become chaotic with screenshots, PDFs, archives, and binaries, making file retrieval difficult and risking accidental deletion or overwrite.

Результат

CleanDrop organizes Downloads into Documents, Images, Archives, Code & Data, and Media folders, prevents accidental overwrites, logs actions for undo, and requires no heavy dependencies.

Рабочий процесс

• Run npx cleandrop --dry-run to preview actions
• Review audit table of source paths, target categories, and planned actions
• Execute npx cleandrop to perform the organization
• If needed, run npx cleandrop --undo to revert the last batch

Доказательства

CleanDrop logs batch actions to a local history journal. If you run a sort and realize you wanted to keep certain files in place, you can reverse the operation with a single command: npx cleandrop --undo
