Point Putaway at your Desktop and watch every loose file lift off it and pile up in the app. Putaway looks inside each one (screenshots, receipts, screen recordings, installers), files it where it belongs, and leaves you four tidy folders. You check the plan; one click makes it real.
Putaway reads what's inside and groups every file by what it actually is: screenshots, receipts, screen recordings, installers. You see the whole plan before a single file moves.
Every file, filed where you'd look for it
Other sorters stop at the file extension, so every .png ends up in one giant "Images" folder. Putaway looks at what's actually in the file and puts it where you'd go looking for it.
Receipts go with receipts, even when one is a .jpg and the other a .pdf. Screen recordings get split from the clips you saved.
.png.heic.jpeg.mov.dmg.pdfEvery file shows up in its new folder before anything happens on disk. Open any folder to check it.
⌘Z puts every file back exactly where it was and removes the folders Putaway made, even after the move.
Photos are read by on-device Vision. No account, no cloud, no uploads.
Tidy Downloads in one click, drag any folder onto the window, or pick one from Finder.
Pick your Desktop, Downloads or any folder. A wave rolls out from the window, every file lifts off and swirls into one big pile.
⌘O open a folder · ⇧⌘D tidy Downloads
The pile settles and the plan appears: how many files, which folders. Hover any file to see what it is and where it's headed, then press Sort and watch them fly.
Space or ⌘R to sort
Happy with it? Move makes it real, and your desktop is left with four tidy folders. Not happy? Undo puts every file back, before or after the move.

No. Putaway reads and sorts everything on your Mac. It doesn't need an account or an internet connection to sort.
Nothing moves until you press Move. Click any folder card to see every file going into it. If you don't like the plan, Undo Sort sends everything back to the pile. After moving, ⌘Z puts every file back where it was.
Loose folders are moved, whole, into Other › Folders. Putaway never looks inside them or changes what's in them, and it leaves its own Photos, Videos, Documents and Other folders alone on later runs.
Putaway sorts the newest 1,000 items in one go and tells you if there are more. Run it again to sort the rest.
Yes. Turn off “Look inside photos” in Settings and Putaway sorts images by file type and name only. When it's on, it uses Apple's on-device Vision framework.
