What this file tool does

The tool reads user-selected folder metadata, optionally applies a recent-days cutoff, and sorts matching files from newest to oldest.

The result is calculated from actual file bytes or metadata supplied by your browser.

Processing is local. Browser memory, file permissions, format variants, and device performance can limit very large jobs.

Supported inputs and limits

This tool accepts folder. Unsupported structures are reported rather than guessed.

Environment	Modern desktop browser
Privacy	No upload
Output	New file or auditable report

Example and practical tips

Start with a small representative set so you can confirm the options and output format. Keep the source files until the downloaded result has been tested in its intended workflow.

For backup or integrity work, store the report beside the corresponding version so later checks remain understandable.

Frequently asked questions

How can I list recently modified files in a folder?

Choose a folder, set a day window, and run the finder.

What does zero days mean?

Zero disables the date cutoff and simply ranks all selected files from newest to oldest.

Does the tool include files in subfolders?

Yes. The folder picker includes nested files and their relative paths.

Can this show file creation dates?

No. The browser File API reliably exposes last-modified time, not a universal creation date.

Is the recent-files report downloadable?

Yes. It creates a CSV report locally.
