Your files, organized by context. Not location.

Sortstash gathers your scattered files, across your Desktop, Dropbox, OneDrive, and more, into Scopes that stay up to date on their own. No importing, no syncing, no reorganizing your folders.

See How It Works

Sound familiar?

Your files are scattered across your Desktop, Downloads folder, Dropbox, OneDrive, and that one external hard drive you use sometimes.

Every time you need something, you search the same five places. You know the file exists—you just made it last week—but finding it feels like archaeology.

What if you could see all your relevant files in one place, no matter where they're stored?

Meet Scopes

Scopes are persistent collections that pull files from anywhere—local folders, cloud storage, external drives—into a single, unified list.

Unlike search, Scopes stay updated automatically. Create a "Work This Week" scope once, and it always shows your recent project files from every source.

No copying files. No reorganizing your folder structure. Just instant access to what you need, when you need it.

How It Works

1

Connect Your Sources

Add your local drives, Dropbox, OneDrive—wherever your files live.

2

Create Scopes

Set up filters for what you need. Name it, define the rules, and watch your files appear.

3

Find Anything Instantly

Your Scopes update automatically. Open Sortstash and your files are already waiting.

Example: Create a "Work This Week" scope that automatically shows recent documents from all your project folders.

One window. Every file that matters, no matter where it lives.

A single Scope, pulling files from your Desktop, Dropbox, and OneDrive at once.

Built for People Who Live in Documents

I spent thirty years in enterprise technology, most of it drowning in files.

You know the drill. The CEO asks about a number from "that presentation we discussed." You know you have it. But is it in OneDrive? Your laptop? That shared Dropbox folder the vendor set up? By the time you find it, the meeting has moved on.

I tried every search tool I could find. They all had the same problem: they made me think about where files lived instead of what I needed.

Sortstash is the tool I wanted to exist. It indexes files where they already are — no importing, no syncing — and lets you create persistent Scopes that organize by context, not location.

"Work from this week." "Client: Acme." "Home maintenance."

Click the Scope, find the file.

I built this for myself, and I use it on my own work every day. Turns out a lot of people have the same problem.

Your Files Stay Yours

You handle sensitive work. Sortstash is built so you never have to think twice about it.

No forced imports

Sortstash indexes your files where they already live, with no importing and no syncing. It never pulls them into a proprietary database or folder structure just to work.

Your files never reach us

Sortstash never sends your files or their contents to a Sortstash server. It reads them locally to build your Scopes, and only moves a file elsewhere when you tell it to.

No account required

There is no sign-up and no password. Buy it, run it, and start working. We do not build a profile of you.

No lock-in

Your files keep their names, formats, and folders. Stop using Sortstash whenever you want and everything is right where you left it.

Sortstash goes online for a few bounded reasons only: to check your license, to look for app updates, and to reach the cloud sources you choose to connect. It does not send your files anywhere on its own.

Questions, Answered

Does Sortstash move or modify my files?
Not on its own. Sortstash indexes your files where they already live, with no importing and no syncing. It does not pull them into a proprietary database or folder structure, so nothing is relocated or rewritten just to use the app. Sortstash only acts on a file when you tell it to.
Does Sortstash upload my files?
Not to us. Sortstash never sends your files or their contents to a Sortstash server. It reads them locally to build your Scopes. If you direct it to copy or move a file to a cloud service or remote location, it does that because you asked it to, and nowhere else.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no password. You buy a license, enter it once, and start using the app.
How can I try it before buying?
Every download includes a 14-day free trial. No credit card and no account required. If it is not for you, just stop using it.
How does the device limit work?
Standard works on up to 2 devices. Pro works on up to 5. Getting a new computer? Deactivate an old device to free a slot, then activate the new one. You stay in control of which devices are active.
What happens if I never pay again?
Sortstash is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Your license does not expire. Your app keeps working and your Scopes stay exactly as you set them up, for as long as you want.
What is the difference between Standard and Pro?
They are the same app. Standard is $39 and runs on up to 2 devices. Pro is $79 and runs on up to 5 devices. Both are one-time purchases with a 14-day free trial. If you use more than two computers, Pro is the better fit.
