Analyzes your messy Downloads folder, suggests organization

The Problem

File organization is tedious and most people's folders are chaos

Current Solutions (Not Great)

Manual organization (never happens), disk cleanup tools (delete only, don't organize)

Who Needs This

Knowledge workers, researchers, anyone with a messy Downloads folder

Everyone's Downloads folder is chaos. File Therapist uses the File System Access API to look at your folder structure and suggests a sane organization system. It identifies duplicates, categorizes files by type and project, finds things you probably forgot about, and can execute the reorganization for you. Because it runs locally, it can see your files without uploading anything.

Honest Take

Relatable problem but File System Access API has limited browser support (Chrome/Edge only). Most people tolerate chaos rather than actively organizing. Duplicate detection is the most valuable feature. Could work as an Electron app for better OS integration. B2B angle for IT teams cleaning up shared drives could be interesting.

Build Prompt

Use this prompt with an AI assistant to start building

Build a React PWA called 'File Therapist' using WebInfer and File System Access API. UI: 'Select Folder' button, folder tree visualization, suggestions panel. Use showDirectoryPicker() to get folder handle. Recursively read entries with getFileHandle/getDirectoryHandle. Build file list: { name, type, size, lastModified, path }. Send to AI with generateObject to return { duplicates: [{ files: string[], recommendation: string }], categories: [{ name: string, files: string[], suggestedFolder: string }], forgotten: [{ file: string, lastAccessed: string, note: string }], proposedStructure: object, storageByType: object }. Visualize current vs proposed structure. 'Apply Changes' button uses FileSystemFileHandle.move() (where supported) or prompts manual action. Undo stack stored in IndexedDB.
