Looks very useful.

Just for clarity, it looks like image content itself isn't addressed, but rather just any text that might be in an image, correct?

Also: "Your sensitive data never leaves your Mac." Does anything leave the mac? Any metrics? I don't want this to have network capabilities at all.

Correct — right now Floxtop classifies images based on text only. It does not yet classify based on visual objects. If automatic object-based sorting (e.g. detecting pets, buildings, etc.) would be useful for you, I’d be interested to hear your use case.

Regarding privacy: everything runs locally on your Mac. No files or metadata are uploaded anywhere. The only network request is from Sparkle to check for updates. If you prefer, you can disable update checks and Floxtop will have zero network activity.

If you have questions or want to share feedback, you can reach me anytime at [e-mail].

Fantastic, thank you.

This is already useful. If you do wind up adding image classification, first, I'd like it distinguish photos, screenshots, and graphics. Then, I'd like broad categories, like people, places, animals, memes, etc. Base case is I want sort out my downloads since I generally download something and then not bother putting it where it belongs or deleting it.

It would also be handy if, in addition to moving the items, it could tag them via Finder tags/xattrs.

This is cool! I’ve added these to the backlog—I also think tagging with Finder tags/xattrs is a great feature. Thanks a lot for sharing your ideas!
