Sloth Sorter: an offline, low-RAM file tidier with undo

Описание и применение

Sloth Sorter – офлайн‑инструмент для сортировки файлов на слабых ноутбуках, использующий статические эмбеддинги и безопасный откат действий.

Задача

Users with low-end laptops need a safe, offline tool to organize messy Downloads folders without heavy ML or cloud dependencies.

Результат

On a real Downloads folder of 503 files, a dry-run produced a full plan in seconds, sorting 431 files by rules and 72 by embeddings; the tool runs offline with ~303 MB footprint and 191 MB peak RAM.

Рабочий процесс

• Run sloth-sorter with default dry-run to preview actions
• Review the generated CSV report
• Execute with --apply to move and rename files
• Use --undo to revert changes if needed

Доказательства

It sorts files into folders, optionally reads their contents to guess a better category, and can rename them.

Источник

Dry-Run by Default. Nothing moves without explicit --apply.

Источник

Safe Undo with SHA-256: SQLite-backed batch log tracks moves and renames, verifies hashes before reverting, and prevents overwriting conflicts.

Источник

Benchmark on 30 synthetic documents: about 18 files/s, 191 MB peak RAM, 5 s model load (it includes the first-time download), 100% accuracy.
