The Complete File Management Guide for Vox
Vox can manage files on your computer by voice — search, move, rename, organize, and clean up — all without opening a file manager. Here's the complete guide to file operations.
Search for files
“Computer, find all PDF files in my Downloads folder.”
Organize by category
“Computer, organize my Downloads folder — put invoices in a billing folder, documents in a docs folder, and images in a photos folder.”
Rename files
“Computer, rename all the screenshots on my desktop to include today's date.”
Clean up duplicates
“Computer, find duplicate files in my Documents folder and list them.”
Vox compares file names and sizes to identify likely duplicates, then only deletes items when you explicitly ask it to.
Vox only deletes files when you explicitly ask. It also blocks unsafe paths (like system folders) and refuses to delete directories unless you request recursive removal.
File operations reference
- search_files — Find files by name, type, or content
- read_file — Read file contents for analysis
- write_file — Create or update text files
- move_file — Move or rename files
- copy_file — Duplicate files to new locations
- list_directory — List folder contents with details
- create_directory — Create new folders
All file operations execute locally on your machine. Vox uses platform-native automation and shell commands under the hood, running with the same permissions as your user account.
Voice-driven file management means you can organize, search, and clean up your filesystem without ever touching a file manager or terminal.
