FLOXTOP AI

Understands your files. Suggests where they belong.

When you drop a file, Floxtop reads what’s inside - text, images, and content - and compares it with how you’ve described your folders. It then suggests the best match.
You review before anything is moved or renamed.

No rules · No cloud · No API keys · No LLMs · No setup

The same file always produces the same result. No randomness. No guesswork.
Runs fully on your Mac - fast, private, and offline from day one.

Optional: Apple Intelligence is only used for file renaming. Sorting works entirely without it.

PRODUCTIVITY COMPARISON

Manual vs Floxtop

When your Downloads or Desktop fills up with documents, PDFs, screenshots, and random export files, sorting them manually takes time - not because it’s hard, but because every file requires a small decision. Those repeated decisions add up, every day.
Floxtop removes the decisions.

Without Floxtop (Manual Sorting)

  • Preview each file
  • Understand what it is
  • Find/create destination folder
  • Move file
  • Repeat 100+ times

With Floxtop

  • Select all files
  • Add to Floxtop
  • Verify destination folders
  • Move all

Sorting 100+ files is no longer dozens of tiny decisions. It becomes one step.

Users are praising Floxtop for its smart automation and ease of use.

FAQ

Floxtop analyzes files locally on your Mac by extracting text and visual content, then matching it against your folder descriptions to suggest the best destination.

It runs fully offline - no cloud, no APIs, and no LLMs. No setup required.

Smart Rename analyzes your file's content and suggests clear, descriptive filenames. For example, "Screenshot 2026-01-31.png" becomes "Flight Tickets Confirmation.png", "IMG_5847.jpg" becomes "Golden Gate Bridge Sunset.jpg", or "Untitled.pdf" becomes "Q4 Sales Report 2026.pdf".

Requirements:
• macOS 26.0 or later
• Apple Intelligence enabled (System Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri)

Everything runs on your Mac - no data ever leaves your device. If your Mac doesn't meet these requirements, you can still use all other Floxtop features normally.

Absolutely. All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your Mac, and no data is sent to any external servers.

Yes. Floxtop is signed, notarized, and stapled by Apple. This means Apple has checked the app for security issues and confirmed it hasn't been tampered with. When you open it, macOS verifies our Apple Developer signature and allows it to run only if everything is clean.

Floxtop uses the same secure distribution method as well-known Mac apps outside the App Store. Apps that don't meet Apple's standards trigger warnings - Floxtop doesn't.

The App Store has restrictions and a high revenue cut. Distributing directly lets us ship updates faster and keep pricing fair. An App Store version is possible in the future - you can subscribe to the newsletter in the footer to be notified.

File Types: Floxtop works with all file types. Supported formats are classified by content analysis, while other files are classified by filename.

Content-analyzed formats include:
Documents: TXT, PDF, MD (Markdown), RTF, HTML, EPUB, DOC, DOCX, ODT
Spreadsheets: CSV, TSV, XLSX, XLSM, XLTX, XLTM, ODS
Presentations: PPTX, PPTM, POTX, POTM, ODP
Drawings & Formulas: ODG, ODF
Data & Config: JSON, XML, YAML, TOML, INI, CONF, LOG
Images: PNG, JPG, JPEG, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF, BMP, WEBP
Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, AIFF
Video: MP4, MOV, M4V
Languages: Floxtop supports 50 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Albanian, Catalan, Galician, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Burmese, Mongolian, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Georgian, Armenian, and Kurdish. Download the multilingual model in Settings to enable support for all languages.

Yes, you have full control. You can automatically create custom organization folders that match your workflow, select destination folders, and decide which files to move or keep. Floxtop also shows you the top 5 classification matches for each file, so you can easily choose alternative destinations.

No. Floxtop works entirely offline, and all AI processing happens locally on your device.

The app only uses the internet to check for and download updates, which is a separate process and not related to how the app functions or handles your files. We don't track or analyze any data, and no one has access to your files.

If you disable automatic update checks, Floxtop won't use the internet at all.

Not yet. Floxtop currently supports only Apple Silicon Macs. If you want to be notified when Intel support is available, please email us at [email protected].

Floxtop runs on all Apple Silicon Macs. Older M1 Macs may have slightly broader file categories due to hardware limits, but everything remains private and local. Newer Macs (M2+) enjoy faster, more precise classification.
Why? M1 chips have fewer neural cores and less memory bandwidth than newer Apple Silicon, which can slightly affect how AI analyzes files.

Yes! Floxtop Pro includes all updates: bug fixes, performance improvements, and feature enhancements at no extra cost.
Major upgrades or entirely new versions may require a new license, following the standard desktop app model.
This ensures your app keeps improving while your current license remains valid.

Each license covers one Mac, not one user. So if you want Floxtop on 3 different Macs, you'll need 3 licenses. We offer multi-license packs with significant discounts. The number of licenses can be selected directly from the pricing section.

Email us at [email protected] with your refund request and reason. We'll be happy to assist you.
