Features

Your files never leave your computer.

A file organizer sees everything you download. Mouzi is built so that seeing is all that ever happens, and only on your machine.

No server. No cloud. Nothing leaves this diagram.

No server side

Mouzi has no backend. Rule evaluation, file moves and history all happen locally. There is no infrastructure that could receive your data, which is a stronger guarantee than any privacy policy.

What is stored, and where

Your rules and settings live in a local configuration folder, and move history lives in a local SQLite database (%APPDATA%\Mouzi on Windows, ~/.config/mouzi on Linux). You can open the database with any SQLite browser, and deleting the folder removes everything Mouzi knows.

Network activity

The only network request Mouzi makes is an optional check of GitHub's public releases feed for update notifications, and you can turn it off. No file names, paths, contents or usage data are ever transmitted. This claim is verifiable: the source is public and a network monitor will show you exactly what the process does.

Open to inspection

The complete source code is available at github.com/hsr88/mouzi under the MIT license. If you find behavior that contradicts this page, that is a security bug; please report it privately.
