About:
FileFillet is a native macOS application designed to automate file organization through customizable rules and actions. It monitors specified folders and automatically sorts files based on criteria like name, type, or date. This tool helps users maintain a clean file system and reduces the manual effort required for routine file management tasks.
Key Features:

  • Real-time folder monitoring and processing
  • Custom actions including renaming and tagging
  • Native macOS integration and performance
Use Cases:
  • Automatically organizing downloads folder by file type
  • Sorting project files into dated directories
