AutoShelf
Your files, self-organized. Set a rule once, never think about it again.

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