AutoShelf is a macOS app that watches your folders and auto-organizes files. Set a rule once and never think about it again. Free to try, unlock unlimited for $19.99.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Orçun, the solo developer behind AutoShelf.
I built AutoShelf because I got tired of my Downloads folder being a graveyard of DMGs, screenshots, and random files I'd never clean up. Existing solutions were either too complex, too expensive, or felt like they were built in another decade. I wanted something I could set up in 30 seconds and never think about again.
AutoShelf is that thing. It lives in your menu bar, watches your folders, and follows your rules. Templates get you started in one click. Multi-condition rules handle the complex stuff. And it's a one-time purchase, no subscriptions.
Why AutoShelf:
- Radically simple onboarding — templates get you running in seconds
- Modern native interface built for today's macOS
- Image optimization built-in
- One-time $19.99, no subscription
What's coming next:
- Multi-actions — chain move + rename + tag + archive in a single rule
- Rule creation wizard — step-by-step guided flow, no guesswork
- File conversions — auto-convert HEIC→JPG, MOV→MP4, WAV→MP3, and more
- Cloud storage uploads — route files to iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive
- Auto downloads — fetch files from RSS feeds, URLs, or cloud storage on a schedule
- Torrent downloads - fetch torrent files from RSS feeds and auto download & organize.
Have an idea for a feature? I'd love to hear it → https://useautoshelf.com/support...
Happy to answer any questions! Would love your feedback.
Do you have a safe mode or undo history in case it moves something important?
Hey Orçun, was on AutoShelf's page just now and the menu-bar-watcher approach to file org is what pulled me in honestly. one thing on my mind, when two rules conflict on the same file, what wins, is it order of rule creation or a priority system? in my Downloads folder almost every file matches three rules at once.
Always think if I'm bad with Mac files or if it's a disaster haha. This is a great idea to manage everything as you want.
does it work with cloud drives like Dropbox/iCloud too? BTW, Congratz for the launch
Does AutoShelf support different rules per watched folder, or is it one global ruleset? My use case is Figma exports landing in Downloads alongside PDF invoices — ideally I’d route each file type to a completely different destination without them conflicting.
Folder chaos on my Mac has been a constant battle. Does it handle nested folder structures or just top-level organization?
Congrats man, been needing something like this lol my downloads folder is cooked
