Built around your projects.
Set up your projects
A project is a folder plus roles such as Links, Assets, Renders and Deliverables. Start from a template, or adopt the subfolders you already have.
Open a folder as a deck
Downloads, Desktop or any folder you choose becomes a deck of cards. Related files, like a zip and its folder, share one card.
File with a keystroke
Press 1–9 for a project, or Return to take the suggestion. The file moves into that project’s folder with its filename unchanged.
Four keys do almost everything.
- 1–9
File it into a project

- Command Z

It learns where things go.
Sorting Room remembers the website a file came from and the words in its name. Next time it suggests the project, and Return files it there.
Related files stay together.
A zip and its folder, logo.svg and logo.png, final_v1 and final_v2, a camera burst, or a whole download session become one card, filed in one go. U deals them out again.
Never renames a single file.
When names clash, you choose: Skip, Replace, or Put in _conflicts. Moving a file still changes its path, so files already placed in After Effects, Premiere or InDesign may need relinking.
- No date folders
- Duplicates spotted by content

Finished projects, off your Mac.
Verified file by file
Every file is checksum-verified on the drive before the original is removed.
Same folder structure
Whole projects move to any drive exactly as they are. Drives are recognised by identity, not name.

Delight, never slow
Cards arc into their projects. Animations speed up on a streak and respect Reduce Motion.
Drive formats
Offload is tested on APFS, exFAT and Mac OS Extended.
Moves log
Every move is logged with its old and new path, so you can trace files when relinking.
No analytics. No tracking. Files are processed on your Mac.
Sorting, duplicate checks and copy verification all happen locally. Files go only to the folders and drives you choose, including an external or network drive for Offload. The version from this site checks its license and looks for updates, and nothing about your files goes with them.

How much does it cost?
Try it free for 7 days, with every feature and no card needed. Then it’s $19 once: every feature on 2 Macs, with 1 year of updates, and you keep the version you have forever. Another year of updates costs $15, and nothing renews automatically. See what’s included.
What happens when the trial ends?
Sorting, trashing and starting new offloads pause until you buy. Undo, Restore and the moves log always keep working, so nothing is ever locked away: every file stays where it is, and you can still put back anything Sorting Room moved.
Does Sorting Room rename my files?
No, never. If a file with the same name is already in the folder, you choose: Skip, Replace (the old copy goes to the Trash), or Put in _conflicts.
Will files placed in After Effects, Premiere or InDesign stay linked?
Not automatically. Sorting Room keeps each filename, but moving a file changes its path, so an app that has already placed the file may report it missing until you relink it. Because the name hasn’t changed, relinking is usually a matter of pointing the app at the new folder. Filing downloads before you place them in a project avoids relinking altogether.
Can I undo?
Yes. Command Z undoes any action during your session, including Trash, Replace, Skip and Offload. Undo history ends when you quit the app.
Is offloading safe?
Each file is copied, checksum-verified (SHA-256) on the drive, and only then removed from your Mac. If you prefer, originals can go to the Trash instead. During the same session, Command Z brings the project back.
Does it sort automatically in the background?
No. It suggests, and you decide with a keystroke, so nothing moves that you didn't see. The menu bar icon tells you when new files arrive.
Does it collect data or upload my files?
No. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking, and your files never leave your Mac except to folders and drives you choose, which can include an external or network drive for Offload. Your file names, move history and learned suggestions stay on your Mac. The version from this site checks its license with Polar, sending the key and a hashed ID for your Mac, and looks for updates on this site. See the privacy policy.
What do I need?
A Mac with Apple Silicon or an Intel processor running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Liquid Glass is available on macOS 26; earlier versions use compatible visuals.
