Lifter is a clean macOS utility that brings order to your imports. It automatically creates Year/Month/Day folders, renames files with flexible templates, and detects duplicates with MD5 comparison. Preview every action in Simulate mode before copying. Built entirely in SwiftUI, runs offline, and respects your Mac’s sandbox.
Hey everyone 👋
I’m the maker of Lifter — I recently rebuilt it from the ground up to make file imports on macOS effortless.
It automatically creates clean folder structures, renames files, and lets you simulate every action before copying.
I’d love to hear how you keep your photos and files organized — and what you think of Lifter’s approach to simplicity.
Always loved a good organization tool. Keep up the good work. Maybe try separating optiona, setup etc and the preview in different steps? So it doesn't feel like one part or the other takes too much space. Especially on small screens.
Also you could try adding automatic sorting for certain folders? For instance select the Downloads folder to always be sorted by certain rules. Any new file that gets downloaded instantly gets sorted.
