https://freakynit.gumroad.com/l/downloads-director MacOS app that automatically moves downloaded files into folders based on their extensions. You can create custom rules (e.g., .jpg → Pictures) and apply them in real time or on-demand. It works in the background and supports both ARM and Intel Macs. Free to use. Feedback welcome! Thanks.. PS: No strings attached kind of free. No personally identifiable data is collected. Completely safe to use. Just something I built for myself, then polished it a bit for others to use.

    I built Auto File Organizer because my Downloads folder was always cluttered with images, docs, and archives mixed together, wasting time on manual sorting.
