Silo Tidy.
Tidy your folders with a model that never leaves your Mac.
Available todayNo upload step. None.
Scanning, extraction, OCR, and classification run through a bundled local runtime on your Mac. Filename rules work without a model; the optional pinned Gemma 4 E2B download adds stronger content-aware classification after explicit consent.
Available todayDescribe the buckets in plain language.
Silo Tidy ships a sensible default taxonomy, but the real power is editing it: define 'Invoices from vendors', 'Kid's school paperwork', or 'Screenshots of bugs' in natural language and the local model classifies against your labels. The file system you end up with is yours.
Coming in version 1.6.0Review first. Write only the frozen plan.
Correct one file or a selection in bulk, resolve every low-confidence result, and inspect exact destinations before a write. If a source, decision, or destination changes after review, the commit refuses to proceed.
Documents, images, code, archives, and audio/video metadata are all in scope. Text parses locally; Apple Vision labels images and handles OCR; the optional Gemma 4 model maps content and labels to your categories.
Every result shows category, confidence, method, and reason. Recategorize one file or a selection in bulk; unresolved low-confidence results remain an explicit review state.
Preview every destination before a write. Copy and Move reject drift instead of overwriting; Smart Folder writes a .savedSearch receipt that groups the exact reviewed files without moving them.
Completed runs keep their reviewed decisions, exact destinations, state, and undo eligibility. Undo restores only unchanged destinations when the original path is safe; changed or missing files remain untouched and are reported as conflicts.
A size, partial-hash, and full-hash funnel finds byte-identical files. You choose the keeper and which redundant copies move into a destination folder; nothing is silently deleted.
The pinned E2B 4-bit model is roughly 3.58 GB and needs 5 GB free disk. Silo Tidy shows its Hugging Face host, Gemma license, hashes, storage location, and device-fit guidance before consent.
