Context
Downloads folders grow without limit. Existing organizers either hide their logic or require scripting.
Approach
Rules are written in a tiny, readable format and evaluated by a Go file watcher. The interface shows a dry run before anything moves.
Highlights
- Dry run preview for every rule change
- Full undo history stored as a journal
- Idle CPU usage below 1% while watching folders
Outcome
Archived after the concept proved the rule format; the ideas moved into later automation work.
