slothd: A Local, Offline AI Daemon That Quietly Tidies Messy Workspaces

A developer built slothd, an open-source AI file organizer that runs locally and stays offline-capable, to clean cluttered folders without uploading private files to the cloud. The daemon detects when the user is idle using native OS input APIs and only then scans and sorts files. It uses a two-stage approach, first triaging file metadata with lightweight models and then invoking Gemma 3 through Ollama to read PDFs and images. Every operation is a dry run by default and is logged to an SQLite manifest, so any change can be reverted with a single undo command. The project was submitted to the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge.
