Automated organization for your Mac.

Automatically Organize

Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create. Have Hazel move files around based on name, date, type, what site it came from and much more. Automatically sort your movies or file your bills. Keep your files off the desktop and put them where they belong.

More Than Just Filing

Hazel can open, archive, tag and even upload. You can have Hazel rename your files or sort them into subfolders based on name, date or whatever combination of attributes you choose. Coupled with Hazel’s powerful pattern matching, you can create workflows to process your files, your way.

Taking Out The Trash

Have Hazel keep your trash in check, deleting files that are too old or clearing things out when the trash gets too big. Also, when you delete applications, they can leave behind support files that never get cleaned up. With Hazel’s App Sweep, Hazel will detect when you throw an application away, search for its support files and offer to throw those away as well.

Total Support

Spotlight integration. Photos, Music & TV importing. Notifications. Tags. AppleScript & Automator. Hazel provides deep support for macOS technologies, leveraging everything your system has to offer.

It does a good job at reading PDF files and allowing me to sort them out by their contents. (almost like a high priced Doc Mgmt systems)

What about Bartender? Anyone use and like it?

I use it (on the Mac side) but I don't see it as being anything like Hazel. It's useful for shuttling lesser-used menu icons off into their own space.

Is Hazel still being developed? I can go to the web store but the rest of the site gives me a 404 error, including support.

Old question; fresh answer. Yes, Hazel is still being developed, and the site has been refreshed.
