SlothSort: An AI Folder Tidier That Does the Work While You Do Nothing (Local Gemma)

Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady Submission 🦥

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady

SlothSort tidies a messy folder so you don't have to.

Everyone has a Downloads folder full of files like IMG_20251003_184512.jpg, download(3).zip and final_FINAL_v3.docx. Sorting them is a chore that never gets done. With SlothSort, you type the folder path and press one button. It reads each file's name (and the first few lines of text files) and suggests a folder and a clean name for each one. You look over the list, untick anything you want left alone, and press Tidy it up.

It's built for anyone who keeps putting off tidying their files. It never deletes anything, never overwrites a file, and has an Undo button for the last tidy-up.

Lazy file tidier: Gemma (running locally in Ollama) suggests folders and clean names for a messy folder. You review, press one button, and it moves files. Nothing is deleted, and the last tidy-up can be undone. Run: pip install -r requirements.txt && python -m uvicorn app:app --port 8003 (open http://127.0.0.1:8003 )
