sortClaude checks your Mac, installs anything missing, asks which folder and your glow colour, then opens your dashboard.A Mac or a Windows 10/11 PC, and Claude Code (the desktop app or the terminal) with a Claude plan. If your Mac needs Node.js, Claude installs it for you the first time.
The plugin is about 0.1 MB. Node.js takes 100 to 200 MB only if your Mac doesn't have it yet, and thumbnails use 5 to 40 MB while you sort. Under 250 MB in total. Your files are moved, never copied.

Yes. The Sorting Room was built on a Mac, for Mac, and it works on Windows 10 and 11 too. Claude works out which computer you have by itself, and if anything needs adjusting on your PC, just ask Claude.
