I'm excited to share some great news.

VaultSort was recently reviewed by MacSources, an established publication covering Apple hardware, software, and accessories—and they awarded VaultSort an Excellent rating of 92%.

For an independent developer, having your work thoroughly evaluated by a respected publication is incredibly rewarding.

Highlights from the review

MacSources praised VaultSort for its:

  • 🛡️ Privacy-first, on-device AI processing
  • 📂 Powerful combination of organization, duplicate detection, cleanup, and security tools
  • 🔐 Hardware-backed encryption with Touch ID and YubiKey support
  • ⚡ Frequent updates and responsive developer support

They concluded by calling VaultSort:

> "...a compelling utility for Mac users looking to take control of their digital workspace."

The review also put VaultSort through extensive real-world testing across internal SSDs, external drives, and NAS storage, evaluating everything from organization and duplicate detection to encryption and performance. During the review, a scalability bug surfaced while scanning nearly 790,000 files. I was able to investigate it, redesign the reporting engine, and ship a fix before the review was published—a great example of how valuable thorough independent testing can be.

Thank you, MacSources

A sincere thank you to Robyn and everyone at MacSources for investing the time to perform such a detailed review.

What's Next

My entire focus right now is on bringing VaultSort to Windows.

Development has been progressing extremely well, and I'm happy with where things stand. The goal is feature parity with the Mac version while preserving the same emphasis on speed, privacy, and a polished user experience.

If everything continues on schedule, I expect the Windows version to be ready within the next few weeks.

I'm looking forward to finally bringing VaultSort to a much larger audience.


As always, thank you for supporting independent software.

Every download, purchase, email, bug report, and recommendation genuinely helps VaultSort continue to grow.
