24 alternatives to Tooka
Tooka is a command-line tool that lets you organize files using declarative YAML rules. You can move, rename, copy, or delete files based on conditions like name patterns, extensions, dates, size, or even EXIF metadata. It’s cross-platform, written in Rust, and includes a --dry-run mode for safety. There’s also a simple web-based rule builder to help generate YAML configs without needing to write them manually. I built Tooka to replace messy file-sorting scripts with something reusable, portable, and clear. Feedback welcome—especially around rule design and real-world use cases.

After having cycled through various CLI-based todo apps, I started to realise that I actually don’t need a tool at all for managing my todos. Most of the time, my use cases are quite simple, like viewing my todo items, checking them off, or adding a new one. Rather than having to memorise CLI commands for these interactions (which I’m not super good at), I figured that it’s easier for me to use my text editor directly, and have an editor plugin help me with the visual structure and some convenience functionality. So, kind-of similar to Emacs Org Mode, but without having to use Emacs. I…

Deta Surf▲340Hi HN! We got frustrated with the fragmented experience of exploring & creating across our file manager, the web and document apps. Lots of manual searching, opening windows & tabs, scrolling, and ultimately copying & pasting into a document editor. Surf is a desktop app meant for simultaneous research and thinking to minimize the grunt work. It’s made of two parts: 1) A multi-media library where you can save and organize files and webpages into collections called Notebooks. 2) A LLM-powered smart document which you can auto-generate using the context from any stored page, tab or entire…

Mac Cleanup Go▲100Instead of a traditional command-style CLI, it runs as a TUI in the terminal, allowing users to inspect cleanup targets before proceeding. On my macOS machines, caches and app data often take up more than 40% of disk usage. Manually cleaning them each time felt tedious, so I built this tool to make the process easier. While similar tools exist, I found it hard to quickly understand how items were categorized or how important each cleanup target was, so I built my own. Repository: https://github.com/2ykwang/mac-cleanup-go Feedback is welcome.

My Downloads folder had been left unkept for a really long time and cleaning it up using Finder was quite cumbersome. So I started creating a simple app to help me filter out and delete or move the files in the folder. It started out very basic and the filtering options genuinely helped me clean out the Downloads folder, then as I thought of more features I would like to see in a file manager I started to add them. Some of the features are: - Fuzzy go to folder/file where you only need to write a few letters of a full path, get suggestions and can jump to the correct path instantly -…

i built pano because i kept losing the things i actually wanted to come back to. pano is an internet archiving tool that lets you save links into shelves that you can organize and share. the problem for me was never finding things. it was keeping them. research papers, recipes, old blog posts, repos, tutorials, and random sites i found late at night would end up scattered across tabs, bookmarks, screenshots, saved posts, and pdfs. a few weeks later, they were effectively gone. what i wanted was one place where saved links stayed organized, easy to navigate, and easy to share as a collection.…
