Desktop Organizer

A background C daemon that automatically moves files from your Desktop into organized monthly folders. Only screenshots for now.

What it does

Runs every 8 hours and moves all files starting with Captura (macOS Portuguese) or Screenshot (macOS English) from ~/Desktop/ into:

~/Desktop/Screenshots/YYYY-MM/

Build & Run

make          # build
make run      # run (loops indefinitely in foreground)
make clean    # kill the process and remove the binary

Logic

• Detects the current user's home directory dynamically via getpwuid
• Creates ~/Desktop/Screenshots/ and the current YYYY-MM subfolder if they don't exist
• Uses rename() to move matching files (no copy, instant)
• Loops forever with an 8-hour sleep between runs (sleep(28800))
