DESCRIPTION

Hazel is your personal housekeeper, organizing and cleaning folders based on rules you define. Hazel can also manage your trash and uninstall your applications.

Organize your files using a familiar rule interface. Filter on the file's name, type, date, the site or email address it came from and more. And do more than just file. You can set color labels, Spotlight keywords and comments and even archive files. Hazel also cleans, sporting options to clean out incomplete and duplicate downloads.

In addition, Hazel can manage your Trash for you, relieving you of having to empty it yourself.

All this is done automatically in the background allowing you to focus on your real work.

MDOGNRDOG  If you have the chance, install Hazel very early in the process of setting up a new computer. If you put twenty minutes into thinking about where (and when) you want certain types of items to go in your workflow, and another fifteen minutes setting up Hazel to manage that workflow, you can really resist the natural tendencies of the Finder to have you build up undifferentiated piles of crap.

I've got it sorting and prioritizing different document types upon download, color-coding items that are starting to get stale (that need my intervention), dispatching .torrent files to the appropriate directory where they will be processed by the BT client automatically, etc.

A very useful program.  (Version 2.1.6)

RBTKID  I've been running Hazel for months now and it's made so well that I totally forgot I had it installed. I have it set up to manage my downloads and temporary files, and also to manage my Trash.

Support from the developer is outstanding. I've contacted him twice now and each time he has been patient and helpful. The first time he helped me to debug an applescript of mine, and the second time the problem was tracked down to a bug in another program - he said he would contact that program's authors to file a bug.

Outstanding service and great program!  (Version 2.1.3)

GLOBETROTTERDK  Very responsive, helpfull and understanding developer. It would be nice to see more documentation and examples as to how Hazel can be used. If those two conditions were met, Hazel would be five stars in every category.  (Version 2.1.3)
