    About Mouzi

    Mouzi is a local-first, open-source file organization utility designed for Windows and Linux. It functions by monitoring specific directories and applying user-configured rules—such as filename patterns, extensions, or file sizes—to move, rename, or archive files automatically. The application is built with a focus on privacy, featuring no backend or cloud processing. All file operations and history are stored locally on the user's machine. It includes advanced features like dynamic path templates, 'Suggest' mode for rule creation, and support for extracting compressed archives (ZIP, TGZ).
