What is Sparkle?
Sparkle leverages artificial intelligence to create a personalized folder system and automatically organize files. It manages specified folders, including Downloads, Desktop, and Documents, both locally and in cloud storage, streamlining file organization. The system respects user privacy by solely analyzing file names for organization, with file names deleted from the database every 30 days.
The application creates three subfolders within each organized folder: 'Recents' for newly added files, 'Manual Library' for pre-existing and user-specified files to remain untouched, and 'AI Library' where all other files are automatically sorted based on the user's workflow.
