Features

How it actually works

Most organizers move first and explain later. Forma shows you everything upfront — then lets you decide.

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.

Move screenshots to ~/ScreenshotsActive
Rename invoices by dateActive
Sort code files into ~/Projects3 matched

Auto-Grouping

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.
