How to Organize a Messy Downloads Folder (Without Setting Up Rules)

Описание: How to organize your downloads folder when it has become a dumping ground of installers, PDFs, screenshots and files you do not remember saving.

Most guides on this either tell you to do it by hand every Friday, or walk you through building extension rules in Shortcuts or Hazel. Both work. Both fall apart the moment a file does not match a rule you thought of in advance.

This is the other approach: describe how you want the folder arranged in plain English, look at the plan before anything moves, then apply it. No rules to set up, and nothing is moved until you say so.

Real-time demo, nothing cut except the waiting.
