vOrg
File away a folder that has got out of hand — after showing you exactly what will happen.
The problem
A Downloads folder collects four hundred things over two years: installers, invoices, photographs somebody sent, a spreadsheet, six copies of the same manual. Everybody knows it needs sorting and nobody starts, because sorting it by hand is an afternoon.
And the tools that offer to do it are worse than the mess. They move things somewhere you did not choose, some of them delete what they think is rubbish, and none of them tell you what they are about to do — so the folder is different afterwards and there is no way to find out how.
What it does
1It shows you the whole list first
Every file, where it would go, and why — including the ones nothing matches and the ones that would land on a name already in use. Nothing moves until you press the second button.
2The preview is the instructions
The list on screen is the same object that performs the moves. It is not a description of what might happen; it is what will happen.
3It never deletes anything
Every action is a move. There is no code path in vOrg that removes a file. If something is not wanted, moving it somewhere obvious is enough — you can delete it yourself, having seen it.
4It never overwrites anything
Two files wanting one destination both survive; the second gets a number added and the preview says so. The check happens at the moment of the move, not just when the plan was made — because a plan left on screen for two minutes was made against a folder that may have changed.
5Every run can be undone
vOrg writes down each move as it happens, not once at the end — so even a run interrupted halfway leaves a record of exactly what did move. Undoing puts them back and takes away the folders it made, if they are empty again.
6Rules you can read from the top
Kinds of file, extensions, names like invoice*2024*, sizes, ages. The first rule a file matches is the one that files it, so the list can be read in order and understood. Move a rule up and its files change hands.
7Folders named from the files themselves
Pictures\{year}\{monthname}, Documents\{year}, Other\{EXT}, By letter\{first}. A template names a folder and never a file — vOrg does not rename anything.
8It looks before it decides
How many of each kind, how much room they take, what has not been touched in a year, which few files are eating the space. Nobody writes a good rule for a folder they have not looked at.
Why it is worth it
Working out the plan changes nothing. Look at the list, close the window, and the folder is exactly as it was.
Files nothing matches are left exactly where they are, and said so. vOrg files what it was told to file and touches nothing else.
Windows cannot move a file across volumes — it is a copy and a delete. vOrg copies, checks the size matches, and only then removes the original, so an interruption leaves the file somewhere rather than nowhere. Those moves are flagged in the preview.
By default it looks at the folder you chose and not the folders inside it. A tool that hoovers up a whole tree on its first run is one nobody trusts again.
How you use it
"Organise this folder" — or open vOrg and choose one.
By kind, by size, by age. Adjust the rules if the standard ones are not what you want.
The whole list appears. Nothing has moved.
And if it was not what you wanted, press undo.
What it needs
| Windows | 10 or 11, 64-bit |
|---|---|
| Installs to | Your user profile — no administrator prompt |
| Looks at | The folder you choose. Going deeper is a setting, not the default |
| Network | None — vOrg never connects to anything |
| Goes with | vName, for renaming files. vOrg only ever files them into folders |
What it will not do, said plainly
vOrg does not rename files. A rule chooses which folder a file goes into and never what it is called — renaming is vName’s job, and doing a second, worse version of it here would help nobody. The only thing that ever changes a name is a clash, and that is shown in the preview before it happens.
It does not delete, empty the recycle bin, or decide anything is rubbish. It will tell you which folders it has left empty and offer to remove those, and that is as far as it goes.
And it does not watch a folder in the background. vOrg runs when you ask it to, on the folder you chose, after showing you the list. A tool that files things away while nobody is looking is a tool people cannot reason about.
