Simple Organizer Wiki

Simple Organizer sorts the files in a folder (for example Downloads or the Desktop) into category folders such as Images, Documents or Videos — safely: nothing is ever deleted or overwritten, and every run can be undone.

This wiki describes v3.5.1. Download the latest version from the Releases page.
