🚀 Meet Ordena — a Windows desktop app I built to make folder cleanup easier.

Downloads folders have a way of becoming a little bit of everything: documents, screenshots, videos, ZIP files, and installers. Sorting them manually is repetitive, but moving everything automatically can make it hard to know where your files went.

That’s the idea behind Ordena: see the plan, choose what moves, and stay in control.

📂 With Ordena, you can:

🔍 Preview each file’s destination before making changes. ☑️ Select individual files or entire categories. ✏️ Customize folder names and the file extensions assigned to them. 🛡️ Avoid overwriting existing files through automatic conflict renaming. ↩️ Undo the last organization and restore files to their previous locations. 🌐 Switch between English and Spanish. 🔒 Process files locally, without an account or internet connection.

💻 Built with Python and PySide6, Ordena is packaged for Windows so it runs without installing Python or opening a terminal.

One of the most interesting challenges was making file operations predictable: handling repeated names, preserving excluded files, and keeping a history that supports undo. Testing those details mattered just as much as refining the interface.

I also enjoyed giving Ordena its own visual identity: a soft pink interface, blue typography, and a simple message — “Tus carpetas ordenadas.”

This project gave me more practice taking an everyday problem through development, testing, and packaging into a usable desktop application.

🎬 The demo below shows an automated walkthrough of Ordena using sample files, including organization and undo.
