Native intelligence for macOS
MagicFiles quietly understands, sorts, and watches over your Downloads — while recent decisions stay visible and every move stays yours.

From mystery to meaning
MagicFiles combines instant local recognition with optional AI context, then turns a noisy folder into a structure that still feels like yours.
01 The pile
Unclear names. Mixed formats. Decisions waiting for you.
03 The map
Clear destinations. Familiar names. Nothing hidden.
Watch Downloads, Desktop, or any folder you select. MagicFiles only cares for the locations you invite it into.
Local file rules work instantly. Optional AI can add context when a name, document, or company needs more understanding.
Preview the plan, inspect the history, reveal any file in Finder, and undo eligible moves whenever you need to.
The calm command center
01 / PREVIEW
Preview mode classifies files and builds a change plan without touching the file system. Turn it off only when the result feels right.
02 / HISTORY
Up to 2,000 recent planned, moved, restored, skipped, or failed operations stay visible. Search the log, filter by status, or undo an eligible move.
03 / CHOICE
Use fast local classification on its own, or connect your own OpenAI API key for richer document context and careful filename prefixes.
Small details. Serious calm.
MagicFiles checks macOS type data and a built-in registry before asking AI for help.
1,239built-in extension mappings,
plus macOS type intelligence
A short prefix appears only with enough confidence. The complete original filename and extension remain intact.
SHA-256 detection finds identical copies. MagicFiles never deletes them automatically — removal is always a manual move to Trash.
Verified identicalA folder you created is treated as one unit. Its name, contents, and internal structure remain untouched inside Manual Library.
Private by design
Organization happens on your Mac. MagicFiles is deliberate about what can leave it — and puts that choice in Settings.
Files are moved between folders on your Mac, never handed to a remote file manager.
Optional AI may use file metadata without your local path. Content analysis can add limited extracts or reduced previews. Full files are not sent.
Turn AI off and the local engine continues classifying with macOS types and built-in rules.
A home for the everyday
Invoices, contracts, documents, presentations, and spreadsheets — with company context only when it is explicit.
Business / Finances / Atlas StudioPhotos, screenshots, images, video, and audio sorted by what they are — not just where they landed.
Media / Images / ScreenshotsInstallers, archives, and code get clear destinations through fast local type recognition.
Software / ArchivesYour own folders stay atomic, keep their names, and move as complete projects rather than loose files.
Manual Library / Brand archiveThe useful questions
Clear answers, with no magic tricks hidden in the fine print.
File moves happen locally. If you enable optional AI classification, metadata such as the filename, extension or file type, size, and dates may be sent to OpenAI without your local file-system path. If you separately enable content analysis, MagicFiles may also send a limited text extract, a reduced image preview, or a list of up to 100 item names from a folder. Full files are not sent.
No. The local engine works without a key and recognizes more than 1,200 extensions. Your own OpenAI API key is optional and helps with ambiguous documents, richer context, and careful filename prefixes.
They stay where they are. Starting the next calendar day, eligible items move into Recent 3 days. After that window they move into their long-term location under AI Folders.
Never automatically. MagicFiles identifies byte-for-byte duplicates with SHA-256 and shows them for review. Deleting a copy is always a manual action, and it goes to Trash.
Yes. Preview mode creates the plan without moving files. When real moves are enabled, a durable history records the operation and lets you undo eligible moves.
