The Opportunity

No tool handles bulk rename AND auto-organize in one app. Plain-English rules to sort your file chaos.

Original Signal

I have 20,000 files across three hard drives and no idea what's in half of them. I keep downloading things I already have because searching is useless without knowing what to search for.

Score Breakdown

12/15
Demand3.0/5

How urgently people need this solved and how willing they are to pay for it. Based on complaint frequency and spending signals across platforms.

Market Gap4/5

How open the market is. A high score means few or no direct competitors, or existing solutions are overpriced and underdeliver.

Build Effort5/5

How quickly a solo developer can ship an MVP. 5 = weekend project with standard tools. 1 = months of infrastructure work.

Existing Solutions

Hazel rules-based sorting requires manual configuration. Apple Intelligence file suggestions are shallow and don't work cross-drive or on Windows.

Willingness to Pay

Power users pay $29-49 for file management tools; an AI organizer that auto-categorizes and deduplicates would price at $8/month or $49 one-time.
