# Dolfer

> Dolfer is a cross-platform desktop file automation app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Think Hazel for every desktop OS: automatically organize Downloads, Photos, Screenshots, Desktop, and project folders using visual rules that run locally and offline.

Dolfer is a paid desktop application (one-time purchase, no subscription) made by Agentizer, LLC. It helps people keep messy folders clean: Downloads, screenshots, invoices, photos, archives, installers, media, and work files can be moved, renamed, sorted, archived, or cleaned up automatically.

Every action is reversible: deletes go to a recoverable trash, moves can be undone, and every rule can be previewed before it runs. Dolfer works offline, files stay on the user's computer, and the engine is a native Rust implementation.

## How rules work

A Dolfer rule watches one or more folders, decides which files match, then runs actions on those files. In plain language: "when a PDF lands in Downloads, move it to Documents/Invoices" or "when a screenshot is created, move it into Pictures/Screenshots/{year}/{month}".

For advanced users, a rule can include watched folders, triggers (file created/modified/deleted/renamed, schedules, screenshots, login, drive insert, clipboard), conditions (name, contents, type, size, age, date, image dimensions, GPS, duplicate, in-use, and more), and ordered actions (move/copy/rename, delete to trash, extract zips, convert images, create hard/symbolic links, run scripts, tag, copy to clipboard, notify). Destinations support tokens like {name}, {ext}, {date}, {year}/{month}/{day}, and {seq}.

## Pricing

One-time purchase, no subscription. A license unlocks every feature on the number of computers in its tier; feature updates are included for the period shown, and the app keeps working afterward (renew anytime to keep getting new versions).

- Solo — $10 — 1 device, 1 year of updates.
- Duo — $16 — 2 devices, 1 year of updates (best value per device).
- Trio — $25 — 3 devices, 2 years of updates.

The same license works across platforms and seats can be moved between machines (deactivate a device to free its seat). A free 7-day trial unlocks full automation; a dry-run preview is always available so you can see exactly what a rule would do before committing.

## Platforms & privacy

- Windows, macOS, and Linux installers all ship today, built from the same codebase.
- Runs locally and works offline — files never leave the machine, and license verification is offline (cryptographically signed). The app installs an in-app, signed auto-updater.
- Available in 24 languages, including right-to-left (Arabic, Persian, Urdu).
