The idea

Marcel Pociot shows a macOS utility that watches Downloads and applies user-defined rules. The example recognizes an invoice and moves it into an appropriate folder with a useful name.

Inside the decision loop

01 / CONTEXT

File information + sorting rules

02 / DECISION

Identify the document category

03 / ACTION

Apply a file-system rule

What to take from it

A constrained classification can replace a complicated set of filename heuristics. Keep the move reversible and provide a review folder for documents that do not fit the available categories.

KEEP IN MIND

The post describes a prototype. It does not document how every file format is parsed. Jev needs text or structured context, so binary files need a separate extraction step.
