Creating Rules

Create a JSON file in the rules/ directory:

{
  "name": "Move PDFs to Documents",
  "enabled": true,
  "trigger": {
    "folder": "~/Downloads",
    "recursive": false
  },
  "match": {
    "extensions": [".pdf", ".docx"]
  },
  "action": {
    "type": "move",
    "destination": "~/Documents/{extension}/{name}{extension}"
  }
}

Rule Format

Trigger

• folder: Directory to monitor
• recursive: Watch subdirectories (default: false)

Match

• extensions: List of file extensions (e.g., [".pdf", ".txt"])
• name_pattern: Glob pattern (e.g., ".pdf", "report_")
• min_size / max_size: Size limits (e.g., "10MB", "1GB")
• min_age_days / max_age_days: Age limits
• content_keywords: Search within file contents

Action

• type: "move", "copy", "rename", or "delete"
• destination: Target path with placeholders
• template: New name template (for rename)

Placeholders

• {name} - File name without extension
• {extension} / {ext} - File extension
• {date} - Last modified date (YYYY-MM-DD)
• {year}, {month}, {day} - Date components
• {parent} - Parent directory name
