Hazel is a file automation tool for macOS that runs in the background and organizes your files for you. You set the rules, and Hazel does the rest. If you spend time manually sorting downloads, renaming documents, or cleaning up your Desktop, Hazel takes care of all of that automatically.

Key Features:

• Watch any folder and trigger actions based on file name, date, type, size, tags, and more
• Automatically move, copy, rename, tag, archive, or delete files
• App Sweep detects when you delete an app and offers to remove all leftover files
• Trash management that empties your Trash based on age or size rules
• Rename files automatically using tokens like dates, counters, and text patterns
• Works with Spotlight, Photos, Music, AppleScript, and Automator
• Chain multiple actions together to build multi-step workflows

Hazel is a paid app with a one-time purchase price. It is one of the most recommended Mac utilities for good reason. Once your rules are set up, your whole filing system runs on its own. It is especially useful if you deal with a lot of documents, downloads, or scanned files every day.
