Belvedere – automatically organize your files and folders.
Belvedere is a free, lightweight program for Windows that helps you automatically organize and manage files and folders based on advanced rules. With an easy-to-use interface, you can create custom rules that automatically move, delete, copy, rename, or open files based on filename, type, size, creation date, and more.
It’s perfect if you want to tidy up your desktop, keep downloads under control, or ensure specific files end up in the right places—without doing it manually.
What can Belvedere do?
- Create rules based on name, file type, size, date, and more
- Perform actions like move, delete, copy, open, or rename
- Set rules to run once or on a recurring basis
- Works with subfolders (recursion)
- Prompt for confirmation on matches—or run silently in the background
- Create exceptions and precise conditions
Common use cases
- Automatically delete old files in your “Downloads” folder
- Move images to a specific folder based on file type
- Clean up documents and PDFs older than a month
- Automatically archive backup files to external drives
Tips for using Belvedere
Think of the program as a “cron job” for your hard drive
Start with simple rules and test them manually
Use the “confirm before action” option at first
Create different rules for different folders for finer control
