Caretaker - Trash's Friend: Auto-Move Files to Trash on macOS

👋 Hey Product Hunters! Introducing Caretaker - Trash's Friend 🗑️🤖 Tired of manual file cleanups on your Mac? Caretaker's got your back! It quietly works in the background, automating file moves to the Trash based on your schedule. Just select your preferred folder and set the cleanup frequency – daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Let Caretaker handle the rest while you focus on what matters. I built Caretaker because my Downloads folder always clogs up my storage. I usually move the necessary or important files out of Downloads and place them elsewhere. So, I thought, it would be great if the remaining files would move to Trash on their own so I wouldn't have to worry about any sort of spring cleaning. I'm here to answer any questions and hear your thoughts. Let's simplify Mac file management! 🚀

@user2236 haha it does not. You can choose to automatically empty the Trash in Finder settings for now until I look to implement this. Thanks!

I have this problem of forgetting to delete stuff I downloaded and turned out not to be the things I needed or deleting files that I no longer need. Your product seems helpful. Congratulations on the launch! :)
