FILYXA
macOS · Version 1.1.0 · Free
It proposes. You decide.
FILYXA is a file organizer for Mac: it sorts cluttered folders like Downloads and Desktop into tidy subfolders. FILYXA reads one folder you choose, explains what it found, and then waits. Nothing moves until you tick it. Nothing is ever deleted. Every run can be undone.

What it will never do
These are not settings. They are properties of how the app is built, and they hold on every run.
It never deletes your files
The only way out is the Trash, and that stays reversible. There is no hard delete anywhere in the app.
It never overwrites
If a name is already taken, it appends instead — on the way there and on the way back.
It never leaves the folder you granted
No shortcuts to your Desktop or Downloads. One folder, chosen by you, and only its top level.
It never breaks a folder apart
Folders move as one piece. Large files are never moved automatically.

The app itself
Eight screens, straight from the app. Shown in English — the interface follows your system language.
Undo that means it
Every run is written to a log. One click puts everything back exactly where it was, folder structure included.
For the Trash, the app is honest about its limit: if you emptied it yourself, it reports the file as gone instead of claiming a success that did not happen.
It cannot send anything anywhere
No account, no cloud, no analytics, no ads, no server. That is not only a promise — FILYXA ships with the macOS App Sandbox enabled and declares exactly three entitlements:
com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope
There is no network entitlement. Without com.apple.security.network.client, macOS itself refuses to let the app open an outgoing connection, whatever its code might try. Check it yourself:
codesign -d --entitlements - /Applications/FILYXA.app
Content analysis runs entirely on your Mac using Apple's own frameworks. Read the full privacy.
Nine languages
English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. Folder names follow your system language once, at first launch, and then stay put — switching the interface language never leaves you with two sets of folders.
Free, and it stays free
No price, no subscription, no in-app purchase — and nothing unlocks if you pay. If FILYXA saves you an afternoon, you can buy me a coffee. Entirely optional.
