Almirah

Almirah is a desktop file organization application that stores and retrieves documents, photos, and notes easily.

Almirah is a desktop application for macOS that acts as a small cabinet to store documents, screenshots, files, photos, videos, and notes. Users can drop files onto the interface where they are organized on shelves, and drag them out when needed for forms or other tasks. Private files can be placed in a Touch ID locker that is encrypted and secured by the Mac Secure Enclave, locking automatically when the user steps away, closes the lid, or quits the app. The application runs locally on the computer without sending files away. It is designed for Mac users who want to tidy up their desktop files. It offers customization options including different finishes, lights, and sizes.
