I got tired of my Downloads folder being a landfill, so I built a tool to fix it

My Downloads folder was a landfill. PDFs next to memes, installers, family photos, zip files from months ago. Whenever I needed to find something I'd end up manually dragging files into subfolders while muttering curses. A few days later it would be chaos again.

I looked for a tool to handle this. Most of them either wanted a subscription or decided my file names belonged on their cloud servers. I know tools like DropIt and File Juggler exist, but none of them hit the sweet spot I was looking for: simple, fully free, and no cloud nonsense.

So I built Mouzi.

It's a tiny app (~3.3 MB) that sits in your system tray and watches your Downloads folder. New file shows up? It moves it to the right subfolder automatically: Images, Documents, Archives, Installers, and so on. No accounts, no cloud, no payment. Open source under MIT.

Code is at github.com/hsr88/mouzi if you want to poke around.

I've only built the Windows version so far since that's what I use. If anyone here runs macOS or Linux and wants to help compile and test builds for those platforms, I'd be genuinely grateful. That's a bit of a blind spot for me right now.

Also: what would you want a tool like this to do beyond basic sorting? And how do you currently deal with your own Downloads folder mess? I'd love to hear how other people handle this before I start piling on more features.

Thanks!
