SlothSort demo: open-source AI file tidier (Gemma + Ollama)

说明与用途

SlothSort 使用本地 Gemma3:4b 模型读取文件前1500个字符，建议文件名和文件夹。用户确认后，文件移动到 "Tidied" 子文件夹，提升整理效率，无需联网。

问题

The Downloads folder contains many unnamed or poorly named files that are difficult to identify without opening each one, making manual sorting time-consuming.

结果

Using SlothSort reduced the time to organize 13 files from 20 minutes 13 seconds manually to 4 minutes 3 seconds total, with the scan taking 2:2 minutes and user interaction 2:1 minutes.

工作流

• Point SlothSort at a target folder
• The Flask server scans files and reads the first 1,500 characters of text files
• For each text file, the local Gemma3:4b model suggests a folder and a short clear name via a JSON schema
• The UI displays the suggested plan and waits for user approval
• User reviews and edits the plan as needed
• User presses "Tidy selected" to move files into the "Tidied" folder
• The tool records moves in undo.json and supports "Undo last tidy" to revert changes

证据

SlothSort does the sorting for me. I point it at a folder and press one button. It reads my documents one by one and suggests a clear name and a folder for each.

Files are never deleted or overwritten, they move into a Tidied folder inside the folder I picked, and Undo last tidy puts everything back.

The AI makes one small decision per file. For PDFs, Word files, .txt and .md, plain Python reads the first 1,500 characters.

It shows progress. A scan of 40 files takes a while on a laptop, so the server sends each result as soon as it is ready and the page adds rows one at a time.

I sorted the same 13-file test folder two ways. By hand: 20 minutes 13 seconds, opening every file to work out what it was. With SlothSort: 4 minutes 3 seconds in total.
