Knows when a download is actually done
Temporary and partially written files are left alone until they are stable and ready to move.
Native macOS automation · Local-first
QuietSort waits for every download to finish, then quietly moves it into the right folder. Rules, archive handling, and undo history stay close at hand—not in your way.
Designed for calm
Built as a focused Mac utility, every detail exists to make routine cleanup feel invisible and recoverable.
Temporary and partially written files are left alone until they are stable and ready to move.
Sort by file type, name, archive status, source, and your own custom extension rules.
Every move is recorded locally so a cleanup never becomes a leap of faith.
Extract ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, and TGZ files, then organize their contents with the same rules.
A visible workflow
You always see what is being watched, which rule will match, and where each file is headed before and after a run.
Completed downloads enter a quiet queue.
The highest-priority rule chooses a destination.
Files land in an organized folder with history attached.
Local-first by design
File contents are not uploaded for sorting. QuietSort keeps rules, file operations, and undo history on your Mac.
Read the full privacy policy ↗Sorting reads and moves local files without sending their contents away.
Move history remains local until you choose to clear app data.
The service checks sign-in, entitlement, and active devices—nothing more.
Straightforward access
Paid access is tied to your QuietSort account and handled through Paddle. Sign in, activate a device, and keep sorting.

No. Sorting, rules, and history stay local. Account requests only verify sign-in, paid access, and active devices.
QuietSort supports ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, and TGZ archives, then applies your normal sorting rules to the extracted contents.
