Rules That Read Like Sentences
"If the filename contains screenshot, move it to Screenshots." Rules are that readable. No syntax, no config files — just conditions and destinations.
You make rules. Forma follows them. Preview what happens, approve it, undo anything.

Features
Most organizers move first and explain later. Forma shows you everything upfront — then lets you decide.
"If the filename contains screenshot, move it to Screenshots." Rules are that readable. No syntax, no config files — just conditions and destinations.
You have 200 screenshots named IMG_xxxx.HEIC. Forma groups them by type so one rule handles all of them — instead of writing 200 rules.
Preview everything before it happens. See exactly which files move where, toggle individual items, then approve the batch.
