Hazelnut – automated file organizer

Hazelnut is a terminal-based automated file organizer inspired by Hazel.

Watch your folders and automatically organize files based on rules you define — all from your terminal.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Smart File Watching – watch any folder for new and changed files with configurable debouncing and recursive monitoring.
  • Flexible Rules Engine – define powerful rules with conditions based on name, extension, size, age, and more.
  • Powerful Actions – move, copy, rename, delete, archive files, or run custom scripts — all automated.
  • Beautiful TUI – a gorgeous terminal interface for managing rules and monitoring activity in real-time.
  • Background Daemon – set it and forget it — the daemon runs quietly and applies rules 24/7.
  • Simple Configuration – human-readable TOML config that’s easy to write and maintain.
