Show HN: NeatShift – A Modern Windows File Organizer with Symbolic Link Support (github.com)
2 points by BytexGrid 533 days ago
Hi HN,

I've been developing NeatShift, a Windows application designed to help users organize their files and folders seamlessly using symbolic links. The aim is to declutter storage without disrupting file accessibility.

Key Features:

Smart Moving: Relocate files while NeatShift creates symbolic links to maintain system functionality.

Safety Measures: Options for quick backups with NeatSaves and system restore points to ensure data integrity.

Integrated File Explorer: Modern interface with drag-and-drop support, customizable views, and both light and dark themes.

Link Management: Easily view and manage all symbolic links in one place.

I initiated this project to address the challenges of managing large files on limited SSD storage, ensuring that moving files doesn't break application dependencies. NeatShift is open-source (GPL-3.0 license), and I'm actively seeking feedback and contributors to enhance its functionality.

Explore the project here: GitHub Repo https://github.com/BytexGrid/NeatShift

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions!
