About Ocdify – Offline AI that organizes your Mac files, 100% on-device
OCDify is an offline AI-powered file organizer for Mac that automatically sorts, categorizes, and declutters your desktop and Downloads folder. 100% on-device, it uses a local LLM (via llama.cpp) to read file content and names, moving files into custom categories you define. Features include smart rename, broad file type support (documents, images, PDFs, archives, Markdown, RTF, PowerPoint, EPUB), real-time directory watching, menubar convenience, and an uncategorized safety net for ambiguous files. A 30-day free trial is available; after that, a one-time purchase grants a lifetime license with all future updates. Built by VyanLabs, with a focus on privacy and zero data uploads.
