Chikoo provides folders, lists and smart lists to help you keep files of your choice neatly organized. It is up to you what you wish to organize; it could be your PDF files, movies, images—anything.

Custom attributes

In Chikoo, you can choose your own attributes. This is a very powerful feature that allows you to adapt Chikoo to your own needs, and is best explained by two examples:

  • One of our users uses Chikoo to organize her books; she classifies them by author, ISBN, publisher, publisher’s location, and year of publication.
  • Another of our users uses Chikoo to organize his movies; he chooses to classify them by director, starring actors, and release date.

Quick Look

Select files and hit the space bar to Quick Look them. If you want to view them further, you can easily have Chikoo open the files in the appropriate applications for those files.

Chikoo folder

When you import files into Chikoo, you can either leave them at their current locations or have them moved to the Chikoo folder, which is a special folder in your home folder that looks great with all the other folders in there.
