Drop a folder. Sortio renames every file and files it where it belongs.

AI file management is the use of artificial intelligence to sort, rename, search, and route files without you writing rules for each case. Instead of dragging files into folders or building rigid if-this-then-that automations, you describe how you want files organized in plain language and the AI applies that intent across your folders. Sortio is an AI file management tool for Mac, Windows, and Linux that handles intake folders, archives, and ongoing automation in one app.

Yes. Sortio is an AI file organizer that reads file names, metadata, and (when you enable the content toggle) document contents to decide where each file belongs. You write a prompt such as 'sort by client and matter' or 'organize photos by year and event' and Sortio creates the folder structure, renames files to match your template, and moves everything in one pass. Smart Folders then keep new files organized automatically.

Yes! Sortio offers a free tier that includes 10 AI sorting credits, rule-based sorting with up to 5 rules, and sorting up to 250 files at a time. It's a great way to try Sortio before upgrading.

Yes, Sortio backs up your files before making any changes. You can easily revert to the original organization at any time from within the app.

Sortio offers four tiers: Free (10 one-time AI sorting credits, basic features), Pro ($14.99/month or $99/year, 5,000 AI credits/month, unlimited automations, watch folders, commercial license), Team ($29/seat/month, unlimited credits per seat, shared workspaces, admin console), and Enterprise (from $50/seat/month: volume licensing, audit logs, centralized billing, custom invoicing, contact sales).

Yes, Sortio's Free tier includes 10 AI sorting credits to get you started with no payment required. You can sort files, try rule-based sorting, and explore the app. When you need more credits or advanced features like watch folders and on-change automations, upgrade to Pro at $14.99/month or $99/year.

Watch Folders (available in Pro) are folders you configure that automatically sort and organize new files as they arrive. Simply set up a Watch Folder once, and any files dropped into it will be automatically organized according to your preferences, keeping your digital workspace tidy without manual effort.

Sortio maintains detailed logs of all file operations, including what files were moved, when the movement occurred, and where they were relocated to. These logs are securely stored and provide a complete history of file organization while ensuring your privacy.

Yes. Your Sortio subscription is tied to your account, not to one machine. Sign in with the same account on your Mac, Windows, or Linux computers and your plan follows you.

Sortio reads file names, metadata, and, when you enable the content toggle, document contents, then organizes files based on your instructions. You can toggle between sorting by file names/metadata or by analyzing file content. AI sorting uses credits that refresh monthly on paid plans.

Yes, Sortio can work with any language. Simply include your preferred language in the prompt when providing instructions, and Sortio will organize your files according to that language's context and requirements.

The Sortio app ships in six languages: English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, German, and Spanish. Pick your language in Settings, and the entire interface, including the tray menu, switches over. You can also set a separate content language so sort results (folder names, file names) come back in the language you work in, including Chinese.

Yes, Sortio offers unlimited file renaming for Pro and Team subscribers. You can intelligently rename files based on their content, metadata, or patterns you specify.

Yes. Open the Options panel on the Sort page and turn on Restrict to a folder list. You can either paste a list of folder names you want Sortio to use (Documents, Photos, Videos, etc.), or point Sortio at an existing folder structure on disk and have it use only those subfolders. Anything that doesn't clearly fit goes to a fallback folder you choose. The AI cannot create folders outside your list.

AI sort is capped per run so results stay fast and accurate: Free plans up to 250 files, Pro plans up to 5,000. For larger folders, Pro includes unlimited automations (deterministic rule-based sorting) that run instantly across any number of files at no AI credit cost. For a 30GB archive, automations are typically the right tool.

When you add a folder, Sortio scans your documents on your device and extracts key information: names, companies, dates, amounts, and document types. When you run a cloud AI sort (the default), the extracted details, not your full files, are sent to our AI service to decide placement, and content processed by our hosted AI is retained for up to 30 days, then purged. Use your own API key (BYOK) or local mode (Ollama) to keep file contents off our cloud entirely.

Yes. Sortio's smart search lets you find documents by their contents, not just filenames. Search for a person's name, a company, a dollar amount, or a document type and Sortio finds the right files instantly.

Absolutely. Sortio can help you identify every document containing sensitive information like financial data, personal details, or legal terms. Great for tax prep, regulatory compliance, or just knowing what's in your files.
