File Organization for macOS

• Automated File Management: AutoShelf is a macOS application designed to automatically organize files by watching specified folders and moving them to their designated locations based on user-defined rules.
• Rule-Based Automation: Users can set up rules once, and the app will handle file organization silently in the background, eliminating the need for manual sorting.
• Command Line Interface (CLI): Control AutoShelf directly from the terminal. Create rules, manage folders, and trigger actions via command line.
• AI-Powered Rules (In Progress): Describe your desired organization in plain language, and AutoShelf will build the rule for you.
• File Conversion (Planned): Automatically convert media files between various formats, such as HEIC to JPG and MOV to MP4.
• Cloud Storage Integration (Exploring): Route files directly to cloud services like iCloud, Dropbox, and Google Drive.
• Download Source Tracking: Organize files based on the application or browser that downloaded them (e.g., Safari, Chrome, Arc).
• Multi-Condition Rules: Combine various criteria like file type, source URL, download app, size, and filename to create precise rules.
• Extensive Actions: Supports a wide range of actions including move, copy, rename, tag, trash, archive, and optimize files.
• Image Optimization: Automatically reduce the file size of JPG and PNG images without noticeable quality loss.
• Menu Bar Application: Runs discreetly in the menu bar, ensuring it stays out of the way while actively managing files.
• Templates Included: Offers five built-in templates for common use cases, such as organizing downloads by file type or cleaning the Desktop weekly.
• Offline Operation: The application functions entirely offline, ensuring privacy and security with no network calls or tracking.
