Automation Series Part 2: Hazel

Next up in our Automation Series is Hazel. Touted as simply “Automated Organization for Your Mac”. Hazel runs in the background and watches whatever folders you tell it to and automatically runs rules you create. These rules can do things like move files around based on criteria like name, date, or type. But you can go even further with Hazel’s powerful pattern matching.

We will first overview the basics of how Hazel works and then look at some more complex workflows.

Automation Series Part 1: Shortcuts

This month we are kicking off our Automation Series! First up we will cover Apple’s Shortcuts app.

What’s a shortcut? A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Shortcuts app lets you create your own shortcuts with multiple steps. For example, build a “Surf Time” shortcut that grabs the surf report, gives an ETA to the beach, and launches your surf music playlist.

We will first overview some basics and then dig into some more powerful shortcuts.
