Friday

Friday is an advanced AI assistant for Mac users, revolutionizing how digital files are managed. It offers a powerful three-step process – Scan, Classify, Organize – all executed locally on your machine to ensure maximum privacy and efficiency. This tool is built on the belief that files should organize themselves, freeing users from the tedious task of manual file management.

How to use Friday

To get started with Friday, first download the latest version from the official website as a standard .dmg file for macOS. Install the application by dragging it to your Applications folder. Upon first launch, you may need to right-click and select "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper. Grant Friday V2 the necessary permissions to access your files, selecting the folders you wish to organize. For your first organization, it's recommended to start with a single folder like Downloads or Desktop. Select a folder, and Friday will scan and analyze its contents, providing a preview of the proposed categories and folder structure. After reviewing the changes, click "Organize" to apply them. All actions are recorded in the History panel, allowing for one-click undo at any time.

Core Features of Friday

• Deep File Scanning: High-performance recursive scan with minimal CPU impact, extracting metadata (properties, dates, types) and performing content analysis (document text, image content, file context).
• AI Classification: Advanced AI models analyze files in real-time, combining vision, text, and spatial understanding to intelligently categorize documents, images, videos, and projects.
• Smart Organization: Automatically moves files to their perfect folder locations, intelligently renames files with consistent conventions, and detects/manages duplicate files.
• Preview Mode: See exactly what will happen before any files are moved or changes are applied.
• Custom Rules: Create personalized organization rules based on file type, name pattern, date, or size, with specified destination folders.
• Undo History: A complete history of all organization actions, allowing for one-click undo of the last action or any specific past action.
• Scheduled Cleanup: Set up automatic organization to run on a schedule.
• 100% Local Processing: All AI processing happens directly on your Mac; files never leave your device, ensuring privacy.
