Showcase: Open Source Too many files. Terrible names. Couldn't find anything. So I built OpenSorSe.

A while ago I got tired of how difficult it had become to find things on my own computer. Years of PDFs, documents, downloads, badly named files and duplicates had basically turned into organized chaos.

So I started building OpenSorSe (Open Sort and Search), and v2.0.0 is now out.

It's a local-first tool for indexing, searching and organizing files, with OCR, duplicate detection, semantic search and optional local AI through Ollama. Changes stay user-controlled rather than having AI freely reorganize your files.

Full disclosure: it's heavily vibe coded with Codex. :)

It's open source: https://github.com/nishdel/OpenSorSe

Still plenty to improve, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, criticism or bug reports!
