Problem: My Downloads and Desktop folders would fill up with PDFs, screenshots, and random files, making cleanup and finding the right file frustrating and time-consuming.
Solution: Floxtop uses Sentence Transformers (SBERT) to embed document text and metadata, plus OCR to read images. It groups and classifies files by semantic similarity — all locally, so your sensitive files (finance, medical, personal, etc.) stay private.
Current version: Supports 30+ file types including images (with OCR), Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), PDFs, EPUBs, Markdown, CSV, and more. Parsing and classifying 50 files takes around 17 seconds. It integrates with Finder (right-click > Organize with Floxtop), Quick Look + thumbnails, and includes keyboard shortcuts for a fast workflow. Currently, Intel Macs are not supported and it only works with English-language files.
I launched an early beta ~3 months ago, Fallinorg (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44932375), and have since built out more features based on user feedback.
I’d love your feedback on classification workflows, missing features, pricing, usability, and potential bulk operations or integrations.
Happy to answer questions and share implementation details!

Out of curiosity, is your preference for the App Store mainly convenience (updates, trust, purchasing), or something else?
