Questions?
Does Otlet upload my files?
No. All file analysis is done locally on your Mac.
How does the AI work, and is it private?
Otlet uses a small built-in AI model to scan content, filenames, and metadata. No internet connection is used or needed.
Can I undo changes?
Yes. Every action can be reversed instantly, even after you close the app (just don't uninstall it).
What types of files does it support?
Most everyday types - PDFs, images, zips, documents and more.
Will Otlet keep improving?
Yes. Updates to version 1.x are included in the price. We'll release new features based on real user needs, without bloat or feature creep.
Are there limits to how many files Otlet can handle?
Otlet works best with collections up to 3,000 files at a time. While it can handle larger folders, performance will depend on your Mac's capabilities. Intel Macs may take longer to process large collections, but Otlet is designed to stay responsive throughout the process.
Will Otlet work with my existing folder structure?
Yes. Otlet works with your existing files and folders. It suggests organisation without forcing any particular structure on you.
Does Otlet work with iCloud Drive or network storage?
Yes. While Otlet works entirely offline, it can organise files on iCloud Drive or connected network storage when you're connected.
Is Otlet safe for my files?
Absolutely. Otlet never deletes files - it only moves them to more logical locations. And with the full undo capability, you can always reverse any changes, even after closing the app.
Still have questions?
Calm software. Private by default.
Otlet was built to do less, better.
It doesn't interrupt you, spy on you, or upload your life to a server. It lives quietly on your Mac and helps you make sense of the digital clutter we all accumulate.
No noise. No pressure. Just a little peace of mind.
