100 successful sorting decisions free, then $7.99 once. See the price. It is unsigned, so Windows asks once before the first run; here is that screen and the file hash. There is no installer: you extract the folder and run ClipSweep.exe, and deleting the folder removes it.

Try the keys.D and Shift then R play the real recording. The other six tell you exactly where the file goes.

Click a key, or Tab into the deck and use your own keyboard.

One pass sorted seventy clips in ten minutes.

Seventy Medal recordings from May to July, none of them opened since: 142 GB in one folder. If yours has more months in it, or longer clips, it is the folder you stopped opening.

One pass through ClipSweep took 10 minutes and 19 seconds. Each clip played, one key was pressed, the next clip started. 47 of the 70 went to the Recycle Bin, 94 GB of them.

Download it and run the same pass on your own folder.

ClipSweep 1.8.0 on Windows 11, captured 15 September 2026.

The first launch asks what you are sorting.

Gaming clips, home videos, or your own folders and letters. The letters and the folder names are yours, and Redo setup in Settings replays every step whenever you change your mind.

Sort fast, because nothing is gone for good until you empty the bin.

D always uses the Windows Recycle Bin. ClipSweep has no permanent-delete command and never empties the bin.

Z undoes any number of decisions while the session is open. A moved clip returns to its folder. A recycled clip is restored through Windows, and ClipSweep tells you when a manual restore is needed.

Video, filenames, folder paths, and sorting history never leave your PC. How local processing works.

Where sorted clips land, and every file rule, are on the help page.

That pass sorted 70 clips in 10 minutes 19 seconds and sent 9.34 GB to the Recycle Bin.

70 clips in 10 minutes and 19 seconds: 10 kept, 4 starred, 9 sorted into folders, and 47 sent to the Windows Recycle Bin, where 9.34 GB stays until it is emptied.

Every successful decision earns one Broomie; 20 Broomies raise the level, and undo takes one back. The chime and the confetti are the app’s, recorded, not drawn.

Five questions before you download

Can ClipSweep permanently delete anything?
No. There is no permanent-delete command. D sends the file to the Windows Recycle Bin, and ClipSweep never empties it. You decide when anything is gone for good.
Does it upload my videos?
No. Video contents, filenames, folder paths, and sorting history stay on your PC. The app makes two kinds of network request: a license check to Lemon Squeezy and a release-tag check to GitHub. The privacy page lists exactly what each one sends.
What counts toward the 100 free decisions?
A successful Keep, Star, Recycle, or folder move. Playback, seeking, skipping and browsing never spend one. Undo does not spend a decision, and it does not give a spent one back.
Can I use one key on two computers?
Yes. One purchase activates up to 2 Windows devices. Deactivate the old PC from inside ClipSweep before you move, or ask for a device reset if that PC is gone.
How do I get it?
Download ClipSweep 1.8.0 freeExtract the whole folder and run ClipSweep.exe. Your first 100 successful sorting decisions are free.
