Practical guides for organizing Mac files

Step-by-step workflows you can apply right away, without adding more complexity.

Guides that map to the product

Read the workflow. Then run it in Forma.

These guides are built around the same preview-first system Forma uses in the app: write the rule, review the batch, and approve only what belongs.

  • Write the rule in plain language.
  • Review every proposed file move before it runs.
  • Undo the whole batch if the result is wrong.
