Movi is a review-first local file organizer and workbench for messy photos, screenshots, documents, and audio. It lets AI assist with manifest drafting first, then lets you review the plan before deterministic apply or rollback touches your files.

What Makes Movi Different
- Review-first: AI drafts a manifest, but file actions happen only after you inspect the plan.
- AI-assisted: Movi helps propose labels, rules, and review inputs without claiming autonomous file organization.
- Dry-run first: the first-look route keeps
applyin dry-run mode so you can see the intended moves safely. - Rollback-ready: the same workflow keeps an audit trail for recovery instead of treating file moves like one-way guesses.
- Local-first: folders, manifests, and reports stay under your chosen workspace root.
- Agent-safe extension surface: Movi MCP v1 exposes the same review-safe workflow to agents without adding a hidden “move files now” shortcut.
