Ablagio

From chaos to order.

Finally tidy.
In minutes, not hours.

Sorts files directly on your computer. Pick a folder, ablagio reads only filenames, check the preview, confirm — done in seconds. No uploads, no installation, 100% local.

Free to start — from €4.97/month. Launch code WELCOME40 saves 40 % on Starter.

You know the feeling.

2,847 files in your downloads folder. A desktop covered in screenshots. Receipts living somewhere — anywhere — when your accountant asks for them.

You have tried. Once. Eighteen months ago. Then three client meetings got in the way — and the chaos was back.

Cloud-based AI tools

They tip your documents into US-cloud servers. Confidentiality? Not guaranteed.

Open-source projects

First open a terminal. Then install Python. And Ollama. And a 4 GB model.

Rule-based tools

You maintain 80 rules. After three weeks, no one maintains anything anymore.

Good intentions

New Year. Monday morning. After the holidays. Has never worked.

How it works

Three steps to a tidy folder.

1

Pick a folder

Choose the folder that needs more overview. Downloads. Desktop. Client archive. Project files. Whichever.

2

Ablagio knows its way around

Ablagio reads your filenames, recognises patterns and proposes a sensible folder structure — considered, not mechanical. Music files automatically receive genre badges (Rock, Jazz, Pop …). You have the final word.

3

Confirm — and one step back is always possible

You see a preview. Anything off, you correct with a click. Files move only after your "yes". And if you change your mind later: one click — everything reverts to the original state.

Proposal — confirm — done.

Real test with 58 files. From chaos to sorted in 8.1 seconds.

Proposal: 21 new folders

ablagio shows exactly what goes where. Green = confident, yellow = uncertain, red = check. Nothing moves until confirmed.

58 entries sorted — in 8.1 seconds

After confirming, everything runs locally. No waiting, no upload. And if anything seems off: one click to undo.

One messy folder becomes clean subfolders — Health, Finance, Family, Housing, Insurance, Legal and more.

Not happy? Undo everything.

One click — every file goes back exactly where it was. The created folders are removed.

Pro & Lifetime only

Because some files need more than a folder.

Intelligent Rename
😔

"invoice.pdf" · "invoice.pdf" · "invoice.pdf" — three files, no context, nothing findable.

💡

ablagio detects sender, document type and date directly from the filename pattern. No content is read, nothing is uploaded.

invoice-vattenfall-2024.pdf · invoice-vodafone-2024.pdf — instantly clear, without opening a single document.

Pro & Lifetime
ablagio Smart Rename: three invoice.pdf files become invoice-vattenfall-2024.pdf, invoice-vodafone-2024.pdf, invoice-utilities-2024.pdf
Music sorting with genre detection
😔

847 MP3s. Beethoven next to techno. The Beatles somewhere in between. No idea.

💡

ablagio detects artist and genre automatically — via MusicBrainz, the world's largest open music database.

/Music/Rock/ · /Music/Jazz/ · /Music/Classical/ — a chaotic folder becomes a real library. In seconds.

Pro & Lifetime
ablagio music sorting: genre badges Rock, Jazz, Classical appear next to filenames, result folders /Music/Rock/ /Music/Jazz/ /Music/Classical/

Privacy

Your documents stay with you.

Ablagio works differently from other AI tools. We never see invoices, contracts or bank statements.

What we do see: the filename. The very thing you read yourself when you look into your folder.

No document uploads to the cloud.

The actual move happens locally in your browser — never on our servers.

Sorted wrong? One click — everything back to the original state.

Server location: Frankfurt, Germany.

Data-processing agreements with all service providers.

Pseudonymisation of sensitive filenames in the Pro plan.

Delete all your data at any time — no questions asked.

What does chaos really cost?

Manual sorting vs. ablagio.

Move the slider — and see how much time (and money) is sitting in that folder.

Honesty first.

What ablagio. can't do (yet).

We're building a tool that actually works — not one that promises everything. Here's what ablagio. can't do today:

  • Auto-rename files with no readable name

    A file named "20230714_183442.pdf" with no recognisable context can only be clustered by date. The Intelligent Rename feature (Pro) helps with files that have identical or similar names.

  • Windows and Firefox / Safari

    ablagio. currently runs in Chrome and Edge on macOS only. Windows and more browsers are on the roadmap.

  • Music genre detection without an internet connection

    Genre recognition for music files (Pro) uses MusicBrainz — a brief online request per track. Without a network connection, music files are sorted by filename and genre badges are skipped.

We're working on it. Sign up free to get updates when new features land.
