Declutr: Mac app to auto-sort folder contents

Declutr is a lightweight Mac utility that helps you tidy up folder contents by automatically sorting files into smart folders based mainly on file types and extensions. It’s designed to save time when you have large, unsorted file collections sitting in folders.

How it works

• One-click or drag-and-drop cleanup that sorts files by type (images, documents, code, archives, etc.).
• Uses rules based on file names and extensions — it does not perform deep content analysis or inspect file contents.
• Avoids system files and focuses on user data to keep the process safe and simple.

Key features

• Auto-sorting into categorized folders for faster organization.
• Customizable rules and folder organization behavior.
• Fast cleanup intended for repeated use on desktop or large folders.

Note: There are similar apps listed on the Mac App Store (e.g. “Declutter Pro”) and software directories, but those may be separate apps with different features.

Quick verdict

Declutr is a practical tool if you want a fast way to sort and organize messy folders without letting an app read your files. It’s best for users who need basic, rules-based organization rather than content-aware analysis.
