Developer Shubham Pawade has released Segre, a new CLI tool now available on npm, designed to automatically sort a cluttered Downloads folder. The tool organizes files by category like Images, Documents, Code, and Archives, supporting date-wise structures and offering a dry-run mode for safety.

Segre addresses a universal developer pain point: the chaotic accumulation of PDFs, ZIPs, and installers. Pawade built it to replace manual cleanup, emphasizing safe file handling, undo functionality, and interactive confirmation. This update reflects a focus on usability, with the creator improving documentation and writing Jest tests to drive a more maintainable architecture.

The tool’s release on npm signals a move toward practical, user-centric developer utilities. By providing custom categories via JSON config and verbose logging, Segre offers a structured alternative to script-based solutions. Future updates will likely depend on community feedback for features like broader file-type support or integration with cloud storage.
