Spottd this new app. Rulebook
Has anyone tried it? Looks like Hazel with a much better UI.
Looks interesting. I would give it a try, if it didn’t require macOS 26.
Interesting, but there does not seem to be a free trial?
(I know it’s “only” €4,99)
Apparently it is very new, since the developer announced it on Reddit just yesterday?
Also, it offers only a subset of what Hazel can do according to comments in that thread.
PS: It’s only €5 “this week”; price will go up to €7,99 next week (according to the developer)
There’s a(n older?) TestFlight version (build 7 from March 28) that I played with to get an impression.
It’s no replacement for Hazel for me. I could not replicate most of my Hazel rules, because these features seem to be missing (at least in this TestFlight build):
- using groups of a regex match in the contents of a file to rename that file
- sort into subfolders (I use that to store receipts/bills/etc. in separate subfolders per year; for example
Amazon/2025,Amazon/2026, etc.)
The only thing it did do that Hazel can’t (I think) is check the contents of XLSX files in conditions, but I just realized that I can probably use a tool like xleak to work around this issue in Hazel.
