Your files are analyzed on your Mac.
OCDify reads supported documents locally to organize them. File contents, names, and folder paths are not uploaded for analysis.
Free to download and use. One folder, four categories, automatic sorting, and undo. No time limit. Apple Silicon · macOS 14+
Local processing, from file to folder
A language model runs on your Mac using llama.cpp. It reads a file’s name and a sample of its text, selects a category, and the app moves the file into a folder. Category descriptions, Smart Rename, and applied Smart Rename also run locally. The model download is disclosed before setup begins.
The app does not require a Meld Origins account and does not collect usage analytics. Apple’s system crash reporting depends on the choices you make in macOS.
When the app uses the internet
- Initial setup: the AI model downloads from Hugging Face. The download is about 2.4 GB; allow at least 3 GB of free space and an internet connection for setup.
- App Store services: Apple handles downloads, updates, in-app purchases, and restoring purchase ownership. These services use the network separately from local file analysis.
- Offline use: after the model is downloaded, core file organization works without an internet connection.
Local OCR and duplicate review stay on your Mac
OCR with Full Unlock uses Apple Vision on your Mac to read scanned PDF pages and text in supported images. It does not require Apple Intelligence or upload files for recognition. Duplicate review compares exact file contents locally and waits for your confirmation before moving selected extras to Trash.
Available in OCDify 1.5.0. Explore filing controls.
You choose the folders
OCDify asks for access through macOS when you select a folder. Start with a small copied folder, inspect the results, and add other folders when you’re comfortable. Organization only handles files directly inside selected folders, leaving existing subfolders untouched. Pause organization from the menu bar whenever you need to.
App privacy and website privacy are separate
OCDify is downloaded free from the Mac App Store. The optional full feature unlock is purchased inside the app and handled by Apple. This website does not collect payment details or sell license keys.
The website has no analytics, advertising pixels, session recording, or tracking cookies. The recorded walkthrough opens externally on YouTube. Hosting still involves technical request information, and support receives information you choose to send by email.
