Chaos Clean-Up
The "I have it — I just can't find it" file sorter.
Try it free, then a one-time $15 unlock. No subscription, ever.
For brains that lose things
If your Downloads folder is a thousand files deep and your Desktop is a graveyard of "I'll sort this later," Chaos Clean-Up is the gentle octopus that actually does it â without losing your stuff or making you feel bad about the mess.
đī¸ Sorts the pile
Loose files get tidied into folders by type, then year and month â and you decide the order. Documents, images, installers, shortcuts, your own custom buckets.
đ Shows you first
Every run is a preview by default. Nothing moves until you look at exactly what will happen, file by file, and say yes.
đ§Ŧ Finds the duplicates
Real content matching (not just same-name guessing). Genuine copies get flagged so you can clear them; near-matches are kept safe, never deleted.
đ Spares what's yours
An ignore list for files you never want touched, and per-category opt-outs â keep your emotional-support .txt exactly where it is.
đ Keeps it tidy
Opt in to a gentle schedule â daily, weekly, or monthly â and a folder cleans itself up again so it never gets out of hand.
đ Stays on your machine
Zero network calls. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Your files never leave your computer. Available in English and Spanish.
The whole promise in one line:
nothing moves without your yes, and anything it does can be undone.
How it works
Three steps, and the scary one isn't scary.
- Pick a folder. Your Downloads, your Desktop, that one folder you're afraid of.
- Preview. See every move laid out before a single file budges. Untick anything you want left alone.
- Clean up. Hit go. Don't like the result? One click puts it all back.
