Hello everyone,
I want to share a file management automation app I and my partner have been bootstraping on it: Tooc. We need your feedback for us to shape a better product.
We’ve all been there:
Downloads folder overflowing with random files.
Spending 10 minutes hunting for that one document buried 7 folders deep.
Accidentally sending the wrong version to a client because naming conventions are a myth.
If this sounds familiar, Tooc might finally solve your file management nightmares.
Tooc is a macOS app that automates file organization/manipulation and gives you instant control over chaos. No more manual sorting, endless Finder windows, or yelling into Slack to find a missing pdf.
Here’s how it works:
File Automation: Set It, Forget It
Define custom rules to automate repetitive file management tasks. File Automation monitors designated folders and instantly applies your predefined “Rulesets” to every new file or folder added.
How Rulesets Work:
-
Target Folder: Choose any directory (e.g., your cluttered macOS Downloads folder).
-
Conditions: Set criteria using file types, names, dates, or keywords. For example: “All files with image extensions (*.jpg, *.png)”.
-
Action: Decide what happens next—move files to “My Photos,” rename them, or trigger backups.
-
Advanced Logic: Combine conditions with AND/OR operators for precision. (“Move all invoices created this week AND tagged ‘Urgent’ to ‘Accounting’”).
-
Profiles for Every Scenario: Create multiple Profiles, each with its own set of Rulesets. Switch between them instantly to match your current project or workflow. Once activated, Tooc monitors your folders in real time, ensuring files are always where they need to be—no manual intervention required.
Tooc Context Menu: Handle edge cases on the fly
-
Set a mouse key (or keyboard shortcut) to open Tooc Context Menu that allows you to:
- Instantly save files to pinned/recent folders.
- Create nested directories in one click.
- Combine native Finder context menus with Tooc’s tools.
- Add or remove menus to create custom Tooc Context Menu.
-
Perfect for handling edge cases that File Automation rules doesn’t apply, but something that you’d rather take a quick action than adding another rule at the moment.
