Agent of Order suggests names and locations for files in folders you choose. You can review each suggestion before applying it and create rules for recurring filing tasks.
Begin with a folder to check and, for filing suggestions, approved destinations where files may go.
Set access separately for each source: names and metadata, document text, or images and text. With permission, Agent of Order can read limited text from PDFs and Word documents and recognise text on scanned PDF pages. Analysis stays on your Mac.
Review the existing and proposed filename and location alongside evidence and warnings. Preview a file, choose another destination, apply the change or leave it where it is. Exclude a file when you do not want further organisation suggestions.
After an approved move, Agent of Order can use your destination choice and optional reason in future suggestions. Review or forget these examples in Learned preferences. When related loose files suggest a new folder, creating it still leaves the file moves for you to approve.
Make repeatable decisions for a source folder, with a preview of which files match.
Create move, rename or combined rules using filename text, file type, extension, size and dates. Choose whether all conditions or any condition must match. Test against saved files to inspect matches, exclusions and collisions before approving the rule.
New rules require review. Automatic rules based on these fixed conditions need explicit activation and permission at the source-folder level. Ambiguous work returns to review. You can edit, pause or disable a rule.
On supported Macs, a content-category condition can use Apple Intelligence to identify documents such as invoices. It needs permission to read the source's content. Rules containing a content-category condition always require approval before changing a file; uncertain checks wait for further attention.
Keep file actions visible and check the current state before trying to reverse a change.
Activity records file actions and items that need attention. Restore a move or rename when the current file and folder state permits it. Restoration is checked at the time you request it, so it is not a promise of permanent Undo.
Review exact duplicates and abandoned partial downloads. Each candidate needs approval before it moves to the system Trash. Files in Trash use the Mac's normal recovery process.
Search saved filenames and locations, filter by source, destination or file type, and use Preview or Show in Finder. Previous-location details help you follow where a file has been. The app checks locations again before opening a result.
This is a preview of Agent of Order in development. Release details and final system requirements will be added before launch.
