// large file management
Large files eat up disk space silently. A video here, a disk image there, and suddenly your Mac is full. AutoShelf watches your folders and tags or moves files larger than any size you set, so nothing sneaks past you.

// templates
AutoShelf includes a ready-made template for spotting large files. Pick it, choose your folder, and you're done.
// how it works
Select Downloads, Desktop, or any folder. AutoShelf starts monitoring it immediately.
Choose a size in MB. Any file larger than your threshold triggers the action you choose.
AutoShelf labels large files with a Finder tag for easy discovery, or moves them to a folder you designate. Your call.
// more options
Set any file size as your cutoff. 100MB, 500MB, 1GB, whatever works for you. AutoShelf checks file size the moment a file appears or changes.
Add color labels and named tags to large files automatically. They become searchable in Spotlight and visible at a glance in Finder without being moved.
Instead of tagging, move large files to a dedicated folder. Keep your Downloads clean by routing oversized files somewhere else automatically.
Use multi-condition rules to target specific large files. For example, large AND old, or large DMG files only. Pro lets you stack conditions for precision.
