About Sortio
The AI file organizer for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Built and run by a small independent team.
What Sortio Is
Sortio is a desktop app that organizes files from a plain-language prompt. Drop a folder, describe how you want it organized, and Sortio renames every file and files it where it belongs. Every sort shows a preview before anything moves, and every run can be undone.
Beyond one-off sorts, automations watch folders and keep them organized as new files arrive, and built-in semantic search and chat help you find what you already have. The app ships in six languages: English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Korean, German, and Spanish.
Who Builds It
Sortio is built by CMG Labs, LLC, a US company based in Palo Alto, California. We are a small independent team: the same people who write the code answer the support email. Marcus, Sortio's founder, reads every message sent to marcus@getsortio.com.
Sortio started the way most file organizers probably do: a Downloads folder that had gotten completely out of hand, and the realization that modern AI could finally read a file and know where it belongs. We built the tool we wanted to use, then kept going.
How We Work
We ship frequently and document it. Every release is listed in the changelog, with full notes on GitHub. File safety comes first: Sortio previews every move, never overwrites a different file that shares a name, and refuses to touch system folders.
On privacy, we say exactly what happens: by default the AI runs on our cloud, and content sent for hosted AI processing is purged within 30 days. If you want file contents to stay off our servers, bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or run fully local with Ollama or LM Studio. The security page spells out what is sent where.
Find What You Need

Try It Yourself
The download is free, and the free tier includes a one-time AI trial allowance with no card required. Point it at your messiest folder and watch the preview. If something is unclear or broken, tell us, because that is how most of the changelog gets written.
