Nook

Your Downloads,
sorted in two minutes.

Nook reads what’s inside each file, gives it a name you’ll actually recognise and tells you where it belongs. You approve with one key.

Trash

Keep

Try it — use the arrow keys

Three keys. Nothing to configure.

File it

It gets renamed and moved to its folder. It never overwrites a file that’s already there.

Trash it

To the system Trash, where you can still get it back. Nothing is ever really deleted.

Keep it

And ⌘Z undoes the last one — the file goes back exactly where it came from.

Nook has no server.

The model that reads your files ships inside macOS. Neither the files nor their contents ever leave your Mac — there is nowhere for them to go.

The only thing that leaves your Mac is the licence key, once, to check that you bought it.

Installing

Nook isn’t on the App Store, so macOS warns you the first time. It’s two clicks, once.

Open the .zip and drag Nook to Applications.

Open it. macOS will say it can’t verify it. Click OK.

System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll to the bottom and click Open Anyway.

Done. Nook will ask for permission to see Downloads and Desktop.

Prefer the shortcut? xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Nook.app

Questions

What do I need?

macOS 26 or later. For Nook to read file contents you need Apple Intelligence switched on; without it, it sorts by type and filename — and it tells you which of the two it’s doing.

Can it delete something of mine?

No. Discarded files go to the system Trash, nothing moves without your approval file by file, and ⌘Z undoes it. When Nook isn’t sure, it doesn’t guess — it leaves the file alone and says so.

How does the trial work?

You sort 30 of your own files without paying or leaving an email. It doesn’t expire by date: if you don’t open it for a month, your 30 files are still waiting.

I buy it. What then?

Your key arrives by email the moment the payment clears. Paste it into Nook (there’s a paste button) and you’re done. You only need a connection at that moment — after that Nook works offline, and the key never expires.

Your Downloads folder
has waited long enough.
