Pathsmith Plus helps bring order to digital chaos.
What is Pathsmith Plus?
Pathsmith Plus is an accessible file renaming, cleanup, routing, duplicate-management, and folder-watching tool designed with screen-reader and keyboard users in mind.Whether your Downloads folder has become a disaster zone, your music collection is full of duplicate files, or your photo folders are impossible to navigate, Pathsmith Plus helps you clean, organise, preview, and safely apply changes without losing control of your files.
Unlike many file-management tools, Pathsmith Plus is designed from the ground up to work comfortably with keyboard navigation and speech output while still being powerful enough for advanced workflows.
Fix your mess in seconds.
The quickest way to get started is with the built-in Fix My Mess feature.Simply open a folder, activate the cleanup profile, and Pathsmith Plus will analyse your files and generate a preview showing how they can be organised.
It can:
- Group files by type such as music, images, videos, documents, archives, and code.
- Clean messy filenames and remove duplicate suffixes.
- Normalise spaces, dashes, and underscores.
- Identify unusual or suspicious files for review.
- Detect possible duplicate files.
Pathsmith Plus always previews actions before applying them so you remain in control.
Preview first. Apply later.
Pathsmith Plus is designed around safe workflows.Before any changes are made, the program builds a dry-run preview showing exactly what will happen.
Review pending changes, inspect conflicts, analyse destination folders, and confirm operations before your files are touched.
Undo history and the built-in Undo Vault also help protect against mistakes by keeping safety backups of risky operations.
Powerful rules and automation.
For users who want deeper control, Pathsmith Plus includes a flexible rules system.Create reusable rulesets to rename, move, clean, organise, route, or review files automatically based on file names, metadata, extensions, paths, dates, sizes, and more.
Included starter rulesets include:
- Downloads Cleanup
- Clean Filenames
- Music Tags
- Photo Date Names
- Route by Extension
- Invoices and Receipts
- Safe Review First
Folder watching and automatic organisation.
Pathsmith Plus can monitor folders and automatically react when new files appear.Use safe preview-only watch modes while testing, or create advanced automated workflows once your rulesets are ready.
For example, Pathsmith Plus can:
- Automatically sort downloads into folders.
- Rename music using metadata.
- Organise photos by EXIF dates.
- Queue new files for review.
- Automatically apply safe file-routing rules.
Designed with accessibility at its core.
Keyboard shortcuts, screen-reader-friendly controls, focusable interfaces, accessible review systems, and command-palette support make Pathsmith Plus fast and efficient for blind and visually impaired users.Common actions can be triggered quickly through shortcuts such as:
- Ctrl+1 for Fix My Mess
- Ctrl+Shift+F for Analyse Folder
- Ctrl+P for Preview Changes
- Ctrl+Z for Undo Last Batch
