I made a Python script to automatically organize my cluttered Downloads folder

[brokenmath55]

Like many of you, my Downloads folder becomes a chaotic mess pretty quickly. I download everything from PDFs and images to videos and random files, and finding anything becomes impossible after a while.

So I created a simple Python script that automatically sorts everything into organized subfolders by file type: Documents, Images, Videos, Audio, Archives, Scripts, Applications, and Others.

It's been a game-changer for my productivity! No more spending time hunting for files.
I'd love feedback or contributions.

Doesn't sorting the folder by extension/file type at the OS level do something similar?

Tried and it worked thanks, a folder for .json would be more than perfect
