The problem
Cleaning a Downloads folder by hand means opening it, sorting by type and size, and deciding file by file. It is the kind of chore that is easy to describe and slow to do.
How it works in Venta
- Link the computer and share your Downloads folder with Venta.
- Say how you want it organised, for example by type, into folders.
- Venta lists what it found and the moves it plans, and waits for your yes.
- It makes the moves, shows the commands it ran, and asks again before deleting anything.
What Venta uses
Try this prompt
Sort my Downloads folder into Documents, Images, Installers and Archives. List any installers older than six months, but don't delete anything yet.
Limitations
- It works only in the folders you have shared.
- Deleting always waits for your yes, unless you have allowed that kind of action.
- It sorts by names, types, sizes and dates; sorting by what is inside a file means reading it, which is slower.
Questions people ask first
- Will it delete my files?
- Not without asking. Deletions wait for your yes unless you have allowed that kind of action.
- Does it work on a Mac?
- Yes, through the one-file agent for macOS and Linux, which needs Node 18 or newer.
- Can I undo a move?
- Venta shows every command it ran, so you can ask it to move files back.
