Ask HN: Help finding a smart file organizer that uses a local LLM
Does this exist? I’m looking for a tool where I point it at a folder and it runs all of the files through a local LLM and then spits out a nice organized layout (and optionally moves/organizes all the files). I found this open source version (https://github.com/QiuYannnn/Local-File-Organizer) which I think in theory is what I’m looking for but it doesn’t really work well (it crashed on my files and was hard to install).
Ideal feature set:
- Entirely local, no sending my files anywhere
- Can run on my MacBook pro
- Handles most file types, including audio, images, text, PDF, etc
- Can be commercial, I’d be willing to pay 10-20 bucks or so for it
Nice to have:
- Can handle a fairly large number of files (1k-10k)
- Doesn’t take a million years to run
- Doesn’t require a monthly subscription
- Easy to use and setup
- Cross platform (works on windows/linux with a GPU)
I want this badly enough that I might just build it myself if it doesn’t already exist.

- yourself12 2y agoA while ago, I was looking for an efficient way to organize my files using AI on Windows, so I searched for 'ai file organizer windows' on Google. And it was the top result and seemed to have the features I needed. I found it impressive enough that I submitted it to Hacker News to help others who might be looking for a similar solution. I did come across a few other options further down the search page, but most required API integrations, which weren't suitable for my requirements
