I’m a product person at heart. I love trying new tools, learning new things, experimenting with ideas. And it happened that at the same time, I had a very real problem: I get lost in my files. Organizing, finding, and keeping track of everything was always a point of frustration for me. That’s why I built Kalycs. I wanted something that could organize and orchestrate my files without getting in my way. This first version is the starting point, but my ambitions for Kalycs are much higher. I want it to give you control over your digital space and keep your device clean and organized. My long-term vision is simple: an intelligent agent on your Mac that saves, organizes, and synthesizes your knowledge. Now you can focus on your work, not the mess behind it.

Impressive launch, Kalycs team. From a clarity & onboarding lens: when a user opens Kalycs for the first time, what’s the one belief you want them to hold within their first 10-15 seconds?
Is it:
• “I can find the file I need without opening Finder or remembering names.”
Or:
• “My folder structure and chaos doesn’t matter anymorethis tool handles it.”
Because for productivity apps the adoption hinge often isn’t features it’s the user believing it just works for me. Curious how you’re framing that moment for early users.

No doubt, this is a massive headache. The clutter on our devices is just getting worse, making it harder to get things done. If you can automatically sort your files by topic, you aren't just saving minutes—you’re clearing the way for new ideas.
Just curious, is the Windows version on the way?
