Smart Scripts & Automations to Simplify Work

Over time, I’ve built a growing collection of small but powerful automation tools — scripts that streamline repetitive tasks, boost productivity, and solve everyday problems for developers, freelancers, and businesses. Many are open-source and designed to be easily adapted. If any of these tools speak to a challenge you face, feel free to explore the code, use them, or even contribute!

Auto-organize Your Downloads Folder

Automatically move files into folders based on file type.


import os
import shutil
from pathlib import Path
import time

DOWNLOAD_PATH = str(Path.home() / "Downloads")

FILE_TYPES = {
    "Images": [".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".gif", ".svg"],
    "Videos": [".mp4", ".mov", ".avi", ".mkv"],
    "Documents": [".pdf", ".docx", ".txt", ".xlsx", ".pptx"],
    "Archives": [".zip", ".rar", ".7z", ".tar"],
    "Music": [".mp3", ".wav", ".aac"],
    "Code": [".py", ".js", ".html", ".css", ".ts"]
}

def organize_files():
    for filename in os.listdir(DOWNLOAD_PATH):
        file_path = os.path.join(DOWNLOAD_PATH, filename)

        if os.path.isfile(file_path):
            file_ext = os.path.splitext(filename)[1].lower()

            moved = False
            for folder, extensions in FILE_TYPES.items():
                if file_ext in extensions:
                    target_folder = os.path.join(DOWNLOAD_PATH, folder)
                    os.makedirs(target_folder, exist_ok=True)
                    shutil.move(file_path, os.path.join(target_folder, filename))
                    print(f"Moved {filename} to {folder}")
                    moved = True
                    break
            if not moved:
                print(f"Skipped {filename} (not matching category)")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    INTERVAL_MINUTES = 5

    print(f"Running file organizer every {INTERVAL_MINUTES} minutes...
")
    while True:
        organize_files()
        print("Waiting...
")
        time.sleep(INTERVAL_MINUTES * 6

Send Personalized Cold Emails

Upload a CSV and send emails in bulk using templates.


        import csv
import smtplib
from email.message import EmailMessage
from string import Template
from pathlib import Path

EMAIL_ADDRESS = "oussamachahidi20@gmail.com"
EMAIL_PASSWORD = "vfyk ojkj dsiu wgfu"
SMTP_SERVER = "smtp.gmail.com"
SMTP_PORT = 587

template_path = Path("template.txt")
template = Template(template_path.read_text())

with open("clients.csv", newline='', encoding="utf-8") as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    clients = list(reader)

with smtplib.SMTP(SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_PORT) as smtp:
    smtp.starttls()
    smtp.login(EMAIL_ADDRESS, EMAIL_PASSWORD)

    for client in clients:
        msg = EmailMessage()
        content = template.substitute(client)
        lines = content.strip().split("
", 1)
        subject = lines[0].replace("Subject:", "").strip()
        body = lines[1].strip()

        msg["Subject"] = subject
        msg["From"] = EMAIL_ADDRESS
        msg["To"] = client["email"]
        msg.set_content(body)

        try:
            smtp.send_message(msg)
            print(f"✅ Sent to {client['name']} ({client['email']})")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"❌ Failed to send to {client['email']}: {e}")
