How Forma works

Automation without blind trust.

The site now has one job: show the mechanism, not just the promise. Rule creation, review-before-action, and undo safety all need to appear before pricing.

Step 01

Write the rule in plain English.

Start with one pattern and one destination. Forma turns it into a repeatable rule instead of another fiddly settings panel.

  • Readable conditions instead of brittle automation syntax
  • One rule can cover screenshots, PDFs, imports, or project drops
  • Built for the way Mac users actually describe clutter

Step 02

Approve the batch, not the gamble.

Preview every change before it happens. Keep files in. Leave files out. The product earns trust by showing its work before it touches anything.

  • Each file is visible before the move runs
  • Skipped files stay out of the batch
  • The destination is legible at a glance

Transformation

From pile to system.

Forma is strongest when it turns recurring clutter into one maintainable rule. This is the exact before-and-after proof the current homepage was missing.

200

Files cleaned up by one rule instead of one more cleanup session.

3

Destinations that stay legible when you revisit them later.

0

Blind moves. The batch is reviewed before it runs.

Use cases

Built for recurring clutter, not tidy demos.

The strongest use cases are the ones you repeat every week. Start with one rule, one folder, and one visible payoff.

Screenshots and exports

"Move screenshots older than 7 days to Images."

Turn recurring desktop noise into one maintained rule instead of one more weekly cleanup ritual.

PDFs and paperwork

"Put invoices in Finance. Archive old contracts."

Use rules that stay legible when you revisit them in three months.

Project overflow

"Route exports, recordings, and drafts into the right project home."

Keep work-in-progress files moving without surrendering control to a black box.

Pricing

$29 once.

Not another subscription.

No account. No cloud tax. No premium tier maze. Just a native Mac utility you own and can trust with your files.

  • Preview every move before it runs
  • Undo remains part of the workflow
  • Runs locally on macOS 15 or later

What you are buying

Controlled automation that still feels native.

Forma wins when it makes file cleanup lighter without asking you to surrender judgment. The site should sell that promise as clearly as the app already does.

Safer than auto-sorters

Preview-first review means you stay in charge before files move.

Designed for real mess

Screenshots, PDFs, exports, and project debris are the starting point.

Undo is expected

The product assumes you may want to reverse a batch and keeps that path close.

No account required

Local-only operation and no account wall keep the product honest.
