Filex AI reads every file, screenshot, and PDF saved on your iPhone, then organizes it into smart folders and makes it searchable in plain English. No manual sorting, no cleanup marathons.
No credit card required · Free plan included
Watch a real iPhone workflow. Messy files and screenshots get organized automatically in seconds.
The Problem
Every app you use saves files to your iPhone with generic names, and there is no built-in way to make sense of it all.
PDFs from Mail, documents from WhatsApp, and downloads from Safari all end up in different places with no shared structure.
Finding one specific file means scrolling through the Files app or your camera roll, hoping you remember roughly when you saved it.
Duplicate downloads and forgotten screenshots quietly eat up storage until iOS warns you it is almost full.
Important details like WiFi passwords and confirmation codes live inside screenshots as pixels, not searchable text.
How it works
From a messy Files app to an organized iPhone in minutes.
Get the app from the App Store and grant access to the files you want organized. Takes less than a minute.
Filex AI scans your Files app, camera roll, and chosen folders, extracts content details, and sorts everything into smart folders.
Search in plain English right from your iPhone, or on web and Android since everything stays in sync.
Features
Built for anyone whose iPhone Files app and camera roll have become an unsearchable mess.
Filex AI reads every PDF, image, and document saved on your iPhone and sorts it into smart folders by topic automatically.

Your files are encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train public AI models.
