AI file organisation for Windows · free for personal use
Organised by what they are,
not where they fell.
Point Ontiqo at the mess. It reads your documents, scans, photos and recordings, works out how they group, and shows you the tidy-up before anything moves. When you commit, an undo record goes into your Documents folder, where uninstalling can't touch it.

The Files page. Flip the switch.
It reads, so it can file
Not just names and dates. The text of documents and scans, what is in a photo, what was said in a recording.
It proposes, you decide
You see the tidy-up as a preview. Drag anything you disagree with. Your changes stick.
It commits, reversibly
Commit in place, or as a copy in a new folder with your originals untouched. The undo record is kept in your Documents folder.
Why it exists
Search tools stop at finding.
Plenty of programs help you find a file. The mess stays, and next year it is worse. Ontiqo reads the whole collection, proposes a new layout, lets you adjust it, then carries it out, reversibly.
Documents
Reports, spreadsheets, letters, old exports. Read in full, every page.
Scans & photos
Scans are read like documents. Photos are described, including any words in them.
Audio & video
Speech becomes text, so you can find a recording by what was said.
Everything else
Archives, discs, installers and old programs are identified, even with nothing inside to read.
A photo library, a music archive, a drawer of paperwork or all of it at once. Ontiqo works from what the files are.
No templates
It learns your collection's shape.
There are no preset categories and no filing system to set up. Ontiqo reads first, then organises around the groupings it finds.
A photo archive comes back by places, occasions and years. A music library by artists and decades. Paperwork by clients, years and kinds of document.
Groupings Ontiqo derived — three different collections
A photo archive
A music library
A paperwork drawer
Views — a way of looking. Views never move files.
Browse without consequences
Regroup it any way. Commit one way.
Regroup the same files by project, year, person or kind, instantly, with nothing moving on disk. A file can appear in several views at once.
Only the layout you approve is ever written to disk.
The deliberate moment
Commit like you mean it.
Undo like it never happened.
Before you commit, Ontiqo shows what will happen: how many files, how much data, and every leftover pile by name. Then you choose: rearrange in place, or build an organised copy in a new folder and leave the original alone.
Each commit writes an undo record to your Documents folder: a plain list of what moved where, which uninstalling won't delete. For files on your computer, a double-click undo sits beside it and needs nothing installed, even months later.

Private by architecture
Your files never leave
your machine.
All the reading and organising happens on your computer. No account, no upload, and your file content is never sent to us. Only a few things go online, and none of them carry your files: optional lookups, sign-in to a connected source, and licence activation for work use.
So it works just as well on a laptop in a paddock.
Three people, three messes
Nobody plans to end up with 60,000 files.
The forensic accountant
Priya is handed a copied drive and one question: what happened in this business? Ontiqo reads all 61 GB and finds the same invoice number twice, without changing a byte of the evidence.
The drawer drive
Marcus finds a 2013 external drive while clearing a desk. Fifteen years of a life, every folder named "backup". What is even on this thing?
The professor
Thirty-one years of teaching and research, filed under "sort later". Eleanor retires in June, and would like her life's work back.
