    Mouzi

    free • From Free (open-source, MIT)
    Updated Aug 2026

    Mouzi is an open-source, privacy-focused desktop utility that quietly keeps your downloads folder under control. Built with Rust and Tauri, it runs entirely on your machine — no cloud, no telemetry, no account — and uses custom regex rules to automatically sort, rename, and route incoming files into the right folders. Smart safeguards like file-lock detection, undo history, and portable builds make it safe to leave running in the background, while multi-language support and a lightweight footprint make it a friendly daily-driver for anyone tired of a chaotic Downloads directory. Released under the MIT license, Mouzi is a no-nonsense alternative to bloated cloud organizers for users who care about local-first automation and full ownership of their files.
