AutoShelf is a Mac app that automatically files, renames, tags, converts, and sorts new files in folders like Downloads and Desktop, based on rules you set once. New: sort into subfolders built from tokens like %kind% and %date%, unarchive, Finder color labels, and rules that cover all or selected subfolders. Free with 1 rule, or $19.99 one-time for unlimited rules ($29.99 from Nov 25). Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
