Your downloads, tamed.
Mouzi is a silent, elegant file organizer that lives in your system tray and keeps your Downloads folder (and any other folder) automatically tidy. It runs quietly in the background, monitors selected folders, and moves, renames, or sorts files based on customizable rules.
- Runs 24/7 in the background with minimal resource usage (~5 MB RAM)
- Automatically organizes new files as they arrive
- Shows a subtle Windows toast notification with the count of organized files
- Silent autostart with Windows
- Images (
.jpg,.png,.gif,.webp...) →Downloads/Images/ - Documents (
.pdf,.docx,.xlsx...) →Downloads/Documents/ - Archives (
.zip,.rar,.7z...) →Downloads/Archives/ - Installers (
.exe,.msi...) →Downloads/Installers/ - Music / Video → dedicated folders
- Catch-all rule for everything else
- Create your own rules with extensions, regex patterns, and destination folders
- Use dynamic placeholders in paths:
{year},{month},{day},{extension},{filename} - Reorder rules by priority - first match wins
- Per-folder ignore patterns — like
.gitignorefor your files - Set up via Settings UI or write a
.mouziignorefile manually - Supports wildcards (
*.tmp), exact names (.DS_Store), and folders (node_modules/)
- Every action is logged locally in SQLite
- Undo any single move with one click
- Clear history anytime
