Invoices get filed, screenshots get sorted, and installers get trashed automatically while you do your actual work.
Skip digging through folders. Drop files onto a zone and the work is done. Convert images for the web. Archive finished projects to ZIP. File invoices where they belong. No dialogs, no per-file setup. Set a zone up once, then it is one drop, every time.
New rule? Preview it first. AutoShelf shows exactly which files match and what would happen to each one. No surprises, no lost files. Flip the switch when it looks right.
Five built-in templates cover the most common use cases. Organize Downloads by file type. Auto-delete old DMGs. Clean your Desktop weekly. Sort by source URL. Or build your own rule from scratch.
AutoShelf looks at the text inside your documents, not just the filename. Route invoices to Finance. Receipts to Expenses. Contracts to Legal. Tag anything marked confidential. Filenames lie. Content does not.
Every photo carries EXIF data. Camera model, lens, ISO, aperture, GPS location, date taken. Send RAW files from your Sony to one folder. iPhone shots to another. Group a whole trip by location. Your photos organize themselves.
Combine file type, source URL, download app, size, age, and filename in a single rule. Stack conditions to match exactly what you need.
Move, copy, rename, tag, trash, archive, optimize, and more. Each action is explicit so you always know what happens.
Automatically reduce image file sizes without visible quality loss. Perfect for keeping your photo exports and screenshots lean.
AutoShelf lives in your menu bar, not your Dock. It watches your folders silently, takes action instantly, and stays out of your way.
Clone repos, download SDKs, save patches. Your Downloads folder is a crime scene. AutoShelf routes .zip, .tar, .css, .js to your dev workspace by source, type, or name.
RAW files, exports, client assets, mood boards. Everything lands in one pile. Sort by file type, size, or date into organized project folders.
You download everything. Installers from 2019. Duplicate PDFs. That zip you never opened. AutoShelf trashes what expires and archives what matters.
Invoices, contracts, deliverables, briefs. All mixed with memes and screenshots. Route documents to project folders, trash the noise, tag what needs review.
Lecture slides, readings, assignments, research papers. All dumped into Downloads. Auto sort by course, type, or semester without lifting a finger.
If you have ever spent 20 minutes looking for a file you downloaded yesterday, AutoShelf is for you. Set it up once. Forget it exists. Like it should be.
AutoShelf lets you set rules that watch your folders and automatically move, copy, rename, tag, or trash files. For example, you can create a rule to move all .pdf files from Downloads to a Documents folder. Once set, it runs silently in the background.
AutoShelf includes built-in templates like Organize Downloads and Auto-delete DMGs. It sorts files by type, source URL, or the app that downloaded them: Safari, Chrome, Arc, and more. Set it up once and your Downloads folder stays clean automatically.
