Introducing Text2Folders

Your list is already on the screen: property addresses, inventory labels, room names, ticket titles. Creating an empty folder for every line by hand is slow. Asking an agent to click through Finder doesn’t scale.

That is the gap Text2Folders is built for.

The idea

  1. Upload (or API-send) a screenshot of a line list
  2. OCR each line into a safe folder name
  3. Download a ZIP with one folder per line
  4. Extract and drop files where they belong

Example: a screenshot containing ten sample addresses becomes a ZIP with ten safely named empty folders.

Three ways to use it

  • Web — upload a screenshot, download the ZIP
  • REST API — send an image from your apps and scripts
  • MCP — let agents in Cursor and other IDEs call the same pipeline

Current status

The working internal-staging service includes anonymous and signed-in web jobs, OCR and ZIP processing, account job history, hashed API keys, a bearer-authenticated REST API, and an MCP server. It is not production-ready: OCR can make mistakes, data and interfaces may change, and sensitive or regulated screenshots should not be uploaded.

Try the web flow in the app, or read the developer guide for the current REST and MCP interfaces.
