About bobnarizes

Building https://floxtop.com/, a native Mac app that organizes your files.

It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder for you. Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers.

It works with multiple files and supports 50 languages.

If you have messy folders anywhere on your Mac, Floxtop can help.

    I’ve seen a huge advantage in running everything fully local and private. Not sure if that fits your use case, though. Nearly 90% of Floxtop users choose the app mainly for that pr…
