Srtly
A native macOS desktop utility for automatic file organization. Right-click any folder in Finder, select Srtly from the Quick Actions menu, and watch your files sort themselves into organized subfolders by type. Includes both a standalone .app and a Finder Quick Action .workflow for seamless integration into the macOS right-click context menu.
One Click from Right-Click
Srtly adds itself to the Finder Quick Actions menu. Right-click any folder, choose Srtly, and all files inside are automatically sorted into categorized subfolders. No configuration, no terminal commands, no drag-and-drop into a separate app.

Key Features
Native macOS App
A proper .app bundle built in Swift. Runs natively on macOS without any runtime dependencies, interpreters, or background services.
Finder Quick Action
Installs as a .workflow that adds Srtly to the Finder right-click context menu under Quick Actions. Sort files without ever leaving Finder.
Drag-and-Drop
Drag any folder onto the Srtly app icon to sort its contents. Works alongside the Quick Action for flexibility in how you trigger sorting.
Automatic Categorization
Files are categorized by extension into logical groups: Images, Documents, Videos, Audio, Archives, Code, and more. No manual rules to configure.
Smart Subfolder Creation
Category subfolders are created only when needed. If a folder has no images, no Images subfolder is created. Keeps things clean.
Lightweight
No Electron, no web views, no background processes. Srtly runs, sorts, and exits. Zero memory footprint when not in use.
Install in Two Steps
No package manager, no terminal, no Homebrew. Just drag and double-click.
Install the App
Drag Srtly.app to your Applications folder. This is the sorting engine that does the actual file organization work.
Install the Quick Action
Double-click the Srtly.workflow file. macOS will prompt you to install it as a Quick Action. Click Install, and Srtly appears in your right-click menu.
Technology
Built with Swift and macOS native APIs. The Quick Action is an Automator workflow that calls into the Swift app for the actual sorting logic.
| Component | Technology |
|---|---|
| Language | Swift |
| Platform | macOS (native .app bundle) |
| Quick Action | Automator .workflow |
| File Operations | Foundation FileManager API |
| Finder Integration | macOS Services / Quick Actions |
| Dependencies | None (pure Apple frameworks) |
Making a file sorting tool feel native and frictionless on macOS, without requiring users to open a separate app or learn a command-line interface.
Packaged the sorting logic as both a standalone .app and an Automator .workflow Quick Action. The workflow integrates directly into the Finder right-click menu, making sorting a one-click operation from where users already manage their files.
