Orbital
An Electron-based desktop productivity application that intelligently organizes, monitors, searches, and manages files. Features include smart folder monitoring, spotlight-style search, SHA-256 duplicate detection, compression suggestions, and real-time monitoring with undo & recovery.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
Users accumulate thousands of unorganized files across multiple drives. Manual organization is tedious, and existing tools are either too simplistic or overly complex.
Solution
Built an intelligent file monitoring engine that auto-categorizes files by type, size, and naming patterns. Users can set rules once, and the app handles organization in the background.
Challenge
Duplicate files waste significant storage space, but detecting duplicates across a large file system is computationally expensive.
Solution
Implemented SHA-256 hashing for exact duplicate detection. The indexing runs as a background process with configurable scheduling, so it never blocks the UI.
