    I often found myself doing this tedious routine: 1. Download a file 2. Open Finder and locate it 3. Drag it into the browser/app to upload For things like tax paperwork or testing uploads, I was repeating this dozens of times a day. QuickShelf is a small macOS menu bar app that lets you instantly open a specific folder in a compact window and drag files directly — without opening Finder. It’s lightweight, quick, and stays out of the way. - https://github.com/Slowhand0309/QuickShelf - https://quickshelf-app.slowlab.dev

    Hi HN, I made Fallinorg, a local macOS app that organizes files by their meaning, not just their name or type. Problem: My Downloads and Desktop folders kept filling up with cryptically named, duplicate, or unrelated files. Over time, cleaning up and finding the right file became a pain. Solution: Fallinorg uses Sentence Transformers (SBERT) to understand the content and context of files, then automatically groups them. It runs fully offline, so you can safely classify sensitive files (finance, medical, personal, etc.). On Apple Silicon, it parses, tokenizes, and categorizes a file in about…

    I built Auto File Organizer because my Downloads folder was always cluttered with images, docs, and archives mixed together, wasting time on manual sorting. It's a simple Python script (under 100 lines, no external deps—just stdlib) that moves files into subfolders like Images, Documents, Archives, Videos, etc., based on extensions. Features: CLI options: --recursive for subdirs, --dry-run to preview, --move-noext for extensionless files. Handles duplicates by renaming. MIT licensed, easy to fork. To try it: text# Clone and run preview git clone…
