Auto-file your Mac Downloads into folders you already have

Problem

Mac Downloads folders fill up with files like download (3).pdf, IMG_4821.jpg, and Untitled.docx that give no clue what they are. Users already have topic folders under Documents but never move anything because they'd have to open each file first, so the pile just grows.

Solution

Read the start of each file to understand its real content: PDF text, OCR for scans and photos, Word, Excel, CSV, and HTML. Then suggest the best-matching folder the user already created. Show a preview first, move only after confirmation, and allow one-click undo.
