Overview
MediaOrganizer is a macOS application for reorganizing large photo and video libraries using timestamps, EXIF metadata and GPS information. It creates a clean, deterministic folder structure while keeping all processing fully local on the user’s Mac.
It is designed as a quiet Step 0 before cataloging and editing tools such as Apple Photos, Photo Mechanic, Lightroom, Capture One, Final Cut and DaVinci Resolve — ideal for photographers, videomakers and anyone with years of scattered media across drives, backups and devices.
