Show HN: Download organizer for Mac

If anyone&#x27;s getting it for the filters, well ... you know you can do exactly that using Spotlight already, right? If not, well, it might be worth giving Spotlight a second look, it can be unexpectedly powerful, and more than just an app launcher ;-)<p>I posted about it here (yes, I need a blog!) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/4LSTA/posts/10154052744565574" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;4LSTA&#x2F;posts&#x2F;10154052744565574</a><p>To excerpt:<p><pre><code> mdfind &quot;(kMDItemWhereFroms != &#x27;*google*&#x27;) &amp;&amp; (kMDItemWhereFroms != &#x27;&#x27;) &amp;&amp; (kMDItemWhereFroms != &#x27;*gmail*&#x27;) &amp;&amp; (kMDItemFSName == &#x27;*.zip&#x27;)&quot; -onlyin ~&#x2F;Downloads </code></pre> Yep, you guessed it. Looks for zip files in my Downloads folder which have a download location, but they had nothing to do with Google or Gmail as sources or referrers.<p>Bonus: You can perform the same filters from Spotlight searches -- see photo at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154054043670574&amp;set=a.242052395573.299433.731555573" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.facebook.com&#x2F;photo.php?fbid=10154054043670574&amp;se...</a> Just edit the list of available filters, there are many more than you might expect...

Here are 10 promo codes for the app; please let us know how you like it and what we can do to improve :) XA494F6AP3T6 THN3M4LKLL6K 9WXENNEA3R9F YYFXYF3FAMFJ 4M6WWR7ER6H6 FJNJ9HWXXLWY R69TAP4LRJEP JJTT6FJEME79 XHM4HHWXTHWP MPW6FRWPFTJ7

Pretty damn cool. For those interested (and running OSX obviously), you can find the source of your downloads by running the following from the Terminal:<p><pre><code> mdls file -name kMDItemWhereFroms</code></pre>

Id like to try it, and I see you had some promos, but I suggest you go with the route of free, and after X downloads it begins to ask you after every X other downloads whether or not you would like to pay, using a pop up.<p>It lets people try the app without risk of paying for something they don&#x27;t like. If they like it, then they go to your website, or use the popup to get a license to upgrade to the &#x27;pro&#x27; version which doesn&#x27;t bug them, and has more features or something.

Just bought this, and there&#x27;s a big problem: the filters won&#x27;t let you choose a destination directory that&#x27;s not in your Home directory! I&#x27;m not sure if this is a weird Sandboxing constraint or not? But I keep my Downloads folder on a SD card[1], so the app is currently useless for me (sadly!).<p>Question for the dev: any plans to fix this, or should I contact Apple for a refund? If it&#x27;s a permanent restriction, I&#x27;d suggest putting a notice in the App Store description.<p>[1] <a href="https://www3.pny.com/category_buymulti.aspx?Category_ID=591" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www3.pny.com&#x2F;category_buymulti.aspx?Category_ID=591</a>

Just downloaded it and a bit disappointed it doesn&#x27;t sort the existing download folder - furthermore, I would like a delete-after-x-days feature, preferably per website.

Scrolling on the site doesn&#x27;t appear to work on Chrome (Mavericks, OSX 10.9.4). Have to use the nipples on the right to force a scroll.

Don&#x27;t have a promo code but I just wanted to say this is a really simple idea that makes so much sense. A very nice optimization.

FYI, I&#x27;m seeing the frontpage a bit off: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/wi1EOdD.jpg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;wi1EOdD.jpg</a> (Firefox 30.0 + Mac OSX 10.9.4)<p>edit: Sorry if I came off a bit blunt, but something else was demanding my attention, so I just quickly commented on the issue without expanding much. :)

This is a really great idea for people to be able to organise their download folders. Will give it a try :)

This is a nit-pick really, but I&#x27;d like to see it organize on first run rather than on first download. Unfortunately for me disk I&#x2F;O can be a bottleneck on this old machine. It slowed down a rather large download while it shuffled things around and unpacked them.

Just bought the app. Love everything apart from the arrow icon on the menubar. It seems like the rest of the app has had a lot of care and attention given to it whereas this is just a simple filled in arrow. Takes away from the entire thing.

Something that many people keep missing out is Automator. You can easily create a Folder Action in Automator and makes <i>magical</i> stuff happen. I think Automator is really underused for many people.<p>I should make one for myself and open source it.

I love the presentation of this app, simple and clear message!<p>And it&#x27;s much cheaper than Hazel that i have been using for many years, so for those that don&#x27;t need all the advanced stuff this is perfect!

I got a code. I like this. It will work well for new downloads, but my already cluttered downloads folder will still need to be manually organized

Nice application! Just a note though: The first images you see on the homepage are pretty low resolution so it looks really distorted

Hazel seems like a more robust solution, and it also allows you to set rules beyond just the &#x27;Downloads&#x27; folder.

Really liking it so far. Works as advertised and I like how its 50% of the power of Hazel for less than 50% of the price.

It&#x27;d be nice if you had the cost on your page instead of just a link to the Apple Store. I dislike this trend.

Awesome, my downloads folder has 2865 items in it. This will help. :)

I&#x27;ve taken a promo code, will try it out and let you know :)

I&#x27;m not sure I can leave my Hazel.

FYI, your home page looks pretty messed up in IE9. Not that IE users would be your primary target market I assume. :)
