A small macOS utility reads files, proposes recognisable names and folders, and lets you approve each decision with the arrow keys.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

Nook presents sorting as a deliberate review queue rather than an always-on filing system. It can render scanned PDF pages when no text layer exists, proposes names from what it reads, and uses a three-choice keyboard flow for filing, trashing, or keeping. The page also specifies a small native-style distribution: approximately 1.8 MB, with no Electron, runtime, or Homebrew dependency. Its stated requirements are macOS 26 and Apple silicon.
