Vortex File Organizer
A quiet menu bar organizer for macOS Downloads
Vortex keeps new downloads visible from the menu bar and organizes ready files into clear folders by type. Open, drag, organize, or delete files without repeatedly opening Finder. Vortex records its own moves so recent tracked moves can be undone when they can still be safely restored. File organization runs locally on your Mac. Free with a one-time Pro unlock; Pro adds unlimited automatic organizing and custom folder and ignore rules.
Hi Product Hunt — I’m Xiaodan, an indie macOS developer at Danshari Studio.
I built Vortex because my Downloads folder kept turning into a mess, and I was tired of opening Finder every time I needed a file I had just downloaded.
I didn’t want to build a broad automation platform. Vortex is intentionally focused: new downloads in the menu bar, quick actions, predictable organization into clear folders, and tracked undo when a move can still be safely restored.
Files are organized locally on the Mac. The free version includes manual actions and limited daily automatic organizing; Pro is a one-time unlock for unlimited automatic organizing and custom rules.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on whether the menu bar workflow feels clear and whether anything about the organizing behavior is surprising.
Thanks for taking a look.
