How it works

Run once before bed

Just python3 sloth_box.py run --apply. No paths to configure. It auto-discovers Downloads, Desktop, Documents, Screenshots.

Gemma organizes overnight

Open-weight Gemma 3 runs locally via Ollama at os.nice(19) — idle CPU. Renames, categorizes, extracts deadlines. All on your device.

Find anything by memory

Open 127.0.0.1:8765. Search "paneer recipe september" or "rent chat rahul". SQLite FTS5 + BM25 ranking finds it instantly.

Get started

    # Requires Python 3.9+ and Ollama with gemma3:4b

    # Works WITHOUT Ollama too (rule-based fallback mode)

    git clone https://github.com/chourasiavinit9-dev/findbox

    cd findbox

    # Dry-run first (safe — nothing moves)

    python3 sloth_box.py run

    # Execute moves when happy with the plan

    python3 sloth_box.py run --apply

    # Launch search UI at http://127.0.0.1:8765

    python3 sloth_box.py serve

    # Undo everything if needed

    python3 sloth_box.py undo
