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
  • Search/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.

Floxtop uses an AI model to understand your file content locally on your Mac. It then classifies, suggests and sorts files into meaningful folders based on available categories and their content.

All processing happens locally on your Mac with OCR support for images.

Yes, you have full control. You can create custom categories 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, internet is not required. Floxtop works completely offline with all AI processing happening locally.

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.
