# 1 Hazel alternative for Mac

Canonical page: https://macbase.app/alternatives/hazel

Automation utility that sorts, renames and cleans up files in your folders using rules you set.

Hazel is a paid app, made only for the Mac, that works quietly in the background. Alternatives include the automation built into macOS, general automation apps that cover more than files, and simpler tools that only clean up Downloads or the desktop.
