In their own words

Desktop Broom

Desktop Broom sorts loose files from a desktop, Downloads folder, or another chosen location into folders by file type. It can work on any drive the computer can access, including USB and external drives. Before moving anything, it shows a preview of the planned changes. Files are moved rather than deleted, and a one-click undo is available. The organizer leaves existing folders and projects alone: it does not open, move, or rename them. Its default Rules mode works offline, according to the maker's GitHub README. Optional Smart Mode uses the user's own key with Claude, GPT, or DeepSeek to suggest descriptive filenames. Smart Mode is disabled by default; when enabled, it sends small text snippets to the selected provider, while the site says the key remains on the user's machine. Desktop Broom is free forever and donation-supported, with no ads, sign-up, or premium tier. It supports Windows 10 and 11 on 64-bit x64, and the maker provides a macOS DMG download. The maker warns that Windows or Chrome may flag the freeware as unfamiliar and says a verified publisher signature is on the way.
