A lightweight desktop file organizer for sorting Photos, Videos, Audio, and Documents safely and quickly.
Simple. Local. No dependencies.
I had an old laptop where I’d been dumping files for years — including photos and videos from my phone. Over time, everything got messy, especially since files were being split into folders by day.
I could either organize everything manually or just write a Python script.
So I wrote this(ahmm definitely not AI🤖).
MediaSort isn’t meant to be anything complicated — just a simple tool that solves a real problem.
- 📁 Organize files into categories:
Photos,Videos,Audio,Documents
- 📂 Optional subfolder organization by file type (e.g. JPEG, MP4, PDF)
- 🔄 Move or Copy mode
- 👀 Dry-run preview (see changes before applying)
- ↩️ Undo last session (safe rollback)
- 🛡️ Built-in safety checks (protected paths, conflict handling)
- ⚡ Fast and efficient (uses Python standard library only)
- Python 3.10+
- Works on Windows (tested)
- Uses built-in
tkinter(no external dependencies)
python main.pyUsing PyInstaller:
pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --windowed --name "MediaSort" main.pyOutput:
dist/MediaSort.exe
- Unsupported file types are ignored
- When using Move mode, files are relocated — use Dry Run first if unsure
- Undo is only available for the most recent session
- Always test on a sample folder before organizing important files
main.py # GUI + application logic
organizer_core_lite.py # Core file sorting logic
- Prevents operations in protected system directories
- Avoids symlink-related risks
- Validates paths before file operations
- Handles file name conflicts safely
This project does what I needed it to do, so I’m not planning to continue working on it.
