Mouzi 🧹🐁

Your downloads, tamed.

Mouzi is a silent, elegant file organizer that lives in your system tray and keeps your Downloads folder (and any other folder) automatically tidy. It runs quietly in the background, monitors selected folders, and moves, renames, or sorts files based on customizable rules.

✨ Features

🔇 Silent by Default

• Runs 24/7 in the background with minimal resource usage (~5 MB RAM)
• Automatically organizes new files as they arrive
• Shows a subtle Windows toast notification with the count of organized files
• Silent autostart with Windows

📁 Smart Rules Engine

• Images (.jpg, .png, .gif, .webp...) → Downloads/Images/
• Documents (.pdf, .docx, .xlsx...) → Downloads/Documents/
• Archives (.zip, .rar, .7z...) → Downloads/Archives/
• Installers (.exe, .msi...) → Downloads/Installers/
• Music / Video → dedicated folders
• Catch-all rule for everything else

🛠️ Fully Customizable

• Create your own rules with extensions, regex patterns, and destination folders
• Use dynamic placeholders in paths: {year}, {month}, {day}, {extension}, {filename}
• Reorder rules by priority - first match wins

🚫 Ignore Rules (.mouziignore)

• Per-folder ignore patterns — like .gitignore for your files
• Set up via Settings UI or write a .mouziignore file manually
• Supports wildcards (*.tmp), exact names (.DS_Store), and folders (node_modules/)

📂 Folder Modes

Each watched folder can run in one of three modes:

• Silent - automatically organize files as they arrive (default)
• Manual - collect files and only process them when you click Clean Now
• Paused - watch the folder but don't move anything

📦 Google Takeout Import

• Import .zip, .tgz, or .tar.gz archives directly from Google Takeout
• Files are extracted to a staging folder and sorted using your existing rules
• No need to manually unzip and reorganize everything

📜 History & Undo

• Every action is logged locally in SQLite
• Undo any single move with one click
• Clear history anytime

🌍 Multi-language

Auto-detects your system language. Supported:

• 🇬🇧 English
• 🇵🇱 Polish
• 🇮🇹 Italian
• 🇩🇪 German
• 🇫🇷 French
• 🇷🇺 Russian
• 🇯🇵 Japanese
• 🇻🇳 Vietnamese
• 🇪🇸 Spanish

(Falls back to English if system language is not supported)

🕶️ Dark Mode

• Follows system theme, or force Light / Dark mode from settings

🔒 Privacy First

• 100% offline - zero cloud, zero file name uploads
• No telemetry by default
• System files ignored - desktop.ini, Thumbs.db, .DS_Store, and other OS hidden files are never touched
• Portable version available - run without installing, leaves no trace in the registry
• All data stored locally in your user profile folder

⚙️ How Rules Work

Rules are evaluated top-to-bottom. The first rule that matches a file wins.

Condition	Example Match
Extensions	jpg, png, gif
Regex pattern	.*faktura.* matches faktura_2025.pdf

Destination path placeholders:

Downloads/Documents/{year}/{month}/
→ Downloads/Documents/2026/05/
