I’m excited to share that MacSources has published an independent, in-depth review of VaultSort and rated it 92% — Excellent.
The review is especially meaningful because it was based on real-world testing, not a quick feature tour. Robyn at MacSources tested VaultSort with thousands of files across an internal SSD, an external SSD, and network storage. The review covers organization, Smart Categorize, duplicate detection, secure deletion, privacy, and hardware-backed encryption.

What stood out
MacSources highlighted several parts of VaultSort that I care deeply about:
- The local-first approach, including on-device AI processing
- Fast file organization and duplicate detection
- Touch ID and YubiKey-backed encryption
- Clear previews before files are moved or deleted
- Frequent updates and a responsive development process
Their conclusion described VaultSort as “a compelling utility for Mac users looking to take control of their digital workspace.” The review also discusses areas where VaultSort can improve, particularly network storage support. That kind of detailed, balanced feedback is valuable, and it is already helping shape the work ahead.
Thank you, MacSources
Thank you to Robyn and the MacSources team for spending the time to test VaultSort across realistic workloads and for documenting the experience in such depth. Independent reviews help people make informed decisions, and they help me see the product through a fresh set of eyes.
VaultSort is built independently, and every release is shaped by careful testing and direct feedback. Receiving a 92% Excellent rating is a milestone I’m proud of, but the most useful part of the review is the clear signal about what works and where the product can keep getting better.
