In this video I discuss Hazel, a folder monitoring application to help keep your desktop tidy and neat.
Hazel is a file monitoring app that you can use to set up fules to monitor file movement and updates to all your files and folders. In the video, I demonstrated how you can create several rules to keep your desktop free of clutter. I did this by employing a three pronged folder approach:
Desktop Clutter Folder
Google Drive Folder - After files have lived in the clutter folder for a month, they are automatically moved here.
All of this is automated via Hazel rules.
Hazel is owned by a company called noodlesoft and it can be purchased for $42. There is a free trial period for the software though - always a plus.
Hazel is one of three starter software for automation heaven. So if your interested in Mac automation Hazel is definitely a must have. And no I’m not sponsored by them nor am I an affiliate marketer for them. I just believe in the software.
