SlothTidier is a local-first autonomous file organizer powered by the open-weight Qwen3 8B model running entirely on your own machine — no cloud, no API keys, no monthly bill.
It tackles the single most universally dreaded computer chore: the overflowing, chaotic Downloads folder full of cryptically named PDFs, duplicate screenshots, abandoned.sql files, and unopened tax receipts you've been quietly ignoring for months.
You dump the clutter. Sloan the Sloth — the AI agent — wakes up lazily, reads the file signatures, and then:
Who gets to be a little lazier? Anyone who has ever opened their Downloads folder, felt a wave of dread, and quietly closed the tab.

On the live demo, Qwen3 8B runs via the built-in offline heuristic engine (Render doesn't host local GPU inference). For full local Qwen3 8B inference with live <think> reasoning token streaming, clone the repo and point it at your local Ollama instance. Both modes are fully functional.
Try the "The 300-Item Downloads Swamp" preset instantly — no files to upload, no sign-up, no API key needed. Sloan will tidy it for you in seconds.
Channel your inner sloth. Sloths move at their own unbothered pace, conserve their energy, and let smart systems do the heavy lifting. SlothTidier organizes the chaotic digital desktop and downloads clutter you've been putting off for months—100% offline with zero cloud leakage.
