Start with templates.
Build your own.

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.

  • Organize Downloads
  • Auto-delete DMGs
  • Clean Desktop
  • Sort by Source
  • Auto-trash Installers

// download source

Know where it came from.
Route it accordingly.

Every file carries metadata. AutoShelf reads the download URL and can route files based on where they came from. GitHub repos to Developer/. Figma exports to Design/. Slack files to Work/. Your rules, your logic.

AutoShelf download app detection AutoShelf download app detection

// downloaded by

Track downloads by app.
Not just by type.

Safari, Chrome, Arc, Finder. AutoShelf knows which app downloaded each file. Tag Safari downloads for review. Route Chrome extensions to a separate folder. Filter installers from your browser. Context matters.

One condition per rule

Simple and focused. File type, extension, source URL, download app, size, age, or filename. One condition per rule keeps things clean and predictable.

Five actions

Move, copy, rename, tag, or trash. Chain them together or keep it simple. Each action is explicit so you always know what happens.

Runs in the menu bar

AutoShelf lives in your menu bar, not your Dock. It watches your folders silently, takes action instantly, and stays out of your way.


// who is it for

Developers

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.

Photographers

RAW files, exports, client assets, mood boards. Everything lands in one pile. Sort by file type, size, or date into organized project folders.

Digital Hoarders

You download everything. Installers from 2019. Duplicate PDFs. That zip you never opened. AutoShelf trashes what expires and archives what matters.

Freelancers

Invoices, contracts, deliverables, briefs. All mixed with memes and screenshots. Route documents to project folders, trash the noise, tag what needs review.

Students

Lecture slides, readings, assignments, research papers. All dumped into Downloads. Auto sort by course, type, or semester without lifting a finger.

Everyone Else

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.
