Suggestions
It learns where things go.
Sorting Room remembers the website a file came from and the words in its name. Next time it suggests the project, and Return files it there.
Groups
Related files stay together.
A zip and its folder, logo.svg and logo.png, final_v1 and final_v2, a camera burst, or a whole download session become one card, filed in one go. U deals them out again.
Safety
Never renames a single file.
Links in After Effects and Illustrator keep working. When names clash, you choose: Skip, Replace, or Put in _conflicts.
- No date folders
- Duplicates spotted by content
- Undo everything
- Nothing deleted unless it’s safe elsewhere
Offload
Finished projects, off your Mac.
Verified file by file
Every file is checksum-verified on the drive before the original is removed.
Same folder structure
Whole projects move to any drive exactly as they are. Drives are recognised by identity, not name.
Undo Offload
Changed your mind? The project comes back.
The small things.
Menu bar inbox
Counts the new files waiting in each folder.
Quick Look
Press Space to preview any file.
Grid
Large previews and multi-select, on G.
Show in Finder
From any card, selection or group member.
Any folder
Downloads, Desktop, or anything you choose.
Skip
S skips a card for now, and undo brings it back.
Welcome tour
Practise on pretend files before touching real ones.
Drive formats
Offload is tested on APFS, exFAT and Mac OS Extended.
Delight, never slow
Trashed files crumple into a paper ball, and a cleared folder gets confetti. Animations speed up on a streak and respect Reduce Motion.
No accounts. No tracking. Your files never leave your Mac.
Privacy policyQuestions
Does Sorting Room rename my files?
No, never. If a file with the same name is already in the folder, you choose: Skip, Replace (the old copy goes to the Trash), or Put in _conflicts. Links in After Effects, Illustrator and other apps keep pointing at the same names.
Can I undo?
Yes. Command Z undoes any action during your session, including Trash, Replace, Skip and Offload. Undo history ends when you quit the app.
Is offloading safe?
Each file is copied, checksum-verified (SHA-256) on the drive, and only then removed from your Mac. If you prefer, originals can go to the Trash instead. Undo Offload brings the project back.
Does it sort automatically in the background?
No. It suggests, and you decide with a keystroke, so nothing moves that you didn't see. The menu bar icon tells you when new files arrive.
Does it use the internet or collect data?
No. There are no accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking. Your file names, move history and learned suggestions stay on your Mac. See the privacy policy.
What do I need?
A Mac running macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later.
