/ About /

AutoShelf is a macOS menu bar app that watches designated folders and automatically moves, copies, renames, tags, or trashes files based on user-defined rules. It can route files by type, download source URL, or the app that downloaded them. It offers a free tier with one rule and a one-time purchase to unlock unlimited rules.

/ How it works /

Users set rules combining conditions like file type, source URL, and downloading app, and AutoShelf silently watches folders in the background to execute actions like move, rename, or trash whenever a file matches.

/ Who it's for /

Mac users who want to automate file organization, including developers, photographers, freelancers, and students
