Overview
Over months of daily smartphone use, the standard Android /sdcard/Download/ directory inevitably degenerates into an unmanageable clutter of screenshots, installation APKs, PDF invoices, compressed ZIP archives, and video clips. Standard file managers require manual multi-selection and sorting.
Authored by xCaptaiN09, Sortify is a smart background file automation module for rooted Android devices. Running seamlessly in the background, Sortify inspects your /sdcard/Download/ directory and automatically categorizes newly downloaded files into dedicated, orderly subfolders.
Organization Structure
Sortify scans file MIME types and extensions, organizing files into intuitive categories:
- APKs:
.apk,.xapk,.apks - Images:
.jpg,.jpeg,.png,.webp,.gif,.svg - Videos:
.mp4,.mkv,.mov,.webm,.avi - Audio:
.mp3,.flac,.wav,.aac,.m4a - Documents:
.pdf,.docx,.xlsx,.pptx,.txt,.csv - Archives:
.zip,.rar,.7z,.tar,.gz
Interactive Features & WebUI
- Native WebUI: For KernelSU users, Sortify embeds a full web dashboard. Configure scan frequencies, toggle specific category subfolders, and define ignore patterns without leaving the KernelSU app.
- Action Button: Trigger an immediate on-demand sorting pass anytime by tapping the Action button next to Sortify in Magisk or KernelSU Manager.
- Safety First: Never overwrites files. If an existing file with the same name exists in a target category folder, Sortify safely renames the new arrival.
