CLUSTER DESKTOP-FILES-AUTOMATICALLY · 13 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-08-27

Automatic file organization tools

This cluster comprises desktop and command-line utilities that automatically sort files into categorized subfolders by type or extension, with features like preview, undo, and duplicate handling. The dated history before the index starts is sparse, with one entry each in June, August, November 2025, and February and June 2026, indicating a steady but low-level trickle. Traction leaders are file-organizer, downloads-organizer, and FolderForge, with downloads-organizer showing the highest activity signal at 2 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
