SortDock

Keep Downloads clean without babysitting every file.

Choose folders, sort by file type or words in the filename, and let new downloads land where they belong. Ask first or move automatically.

New files get a place to land.

Sort by file type, or use words like invoice and receipt for a more specific destination.

Pick any folder on your computer. SortDock remembers it when you reopen the app.

SortDock waits before moving so unfinished downloads are not touched.

Ask first, or let it move quietly.

Move "invoice.pdf" to "Finance"?

Ask First

Ask before moving

SortDock checks with you when a new file arrives. Move it, choose another folder, leave it, or ask later.

Once your rules feel right, SortDock can clean up quietly in the background.

Invoices go to Finance.

Match words like invoice, receipt, or 1099 in the filename. Capitals and the file extension do not affect a match. SortDock checks rules from top to bottom, then falls back to the file type.
