One of toy favourite automation tools on macOS is, without a doubt, Hazel by Noodlesoft. Having an application sit there, watching my core folders and then carry out actions on them is awesome because it allows me to spend my time creating things rather than carrying out housekeeping on my Mac. 

Last week, version 5.1 was released which helped tidy up a couple of issues on macOS Monterrey that were (understandably) encountered during the beta process with the main change being support for Shortcuts on Monterrey as well as the ability to now use AppleScript to control Hazel’s run status.
