Mac file automation with Rulr
Rulr can watch folders on your Mac and automatically organize, rename, move, open, or process files when they change.
Downloads automation
Automatically sort downloads, organize downloaded PDFs, or open new files.
Folder automation
Automate folders on your Mac by watching for new or renamed files and triggering another action.
Screenshots and PDFs
Archive screenshots or route downloaded PDFs automatically.
How file automation works
Rulr connects file events to the work you want done through When → If → Do . A Trigger starts the Rule, optional Conditions check whether it should continue, and Actions perform the task.
For example, Organize Downloaded PDFs follows this path:
When: A new item is added to your watched Downloads folder.If: Its filename ends in .pdf.Do: Move the matching file to your chosen PDF folder.
Import a Rule from its detail page, or describe your workflow to AI Builder to create or adjust one. Review the Rule, choose the settings for your Mac, and test it with a sample file before enabling it for everyday use. Depending on the Rule, you may need to select a watched folder, a file type or filename condition, a destination folder, a naming pattern, or an Apple Shortcut. Review any required permissions on the detail page.
Explore Triggers for the events that can start a Rule, Variables for values used in Conditions, and Actions for moving, renaming, opening files, or running Shortcuts and scripts. The examples above each perform a specific task; you can adjust their settings in Rulr.
What can you automate?
Start with a Rule above and choose the folders, naming pattern, or Shortcut that fit your workflow. To add more steps, combine file Actions with your own Shortcuts or scripts in Rulr.
For workflows beyond files, see the Mac automation guide .
