Description
Download Dispatcher automatically routes downloads into the right folders so your Downloads folder stays clean and organized.
Instead of manually sorting files after downloading them, Download Dispatcher smartly dispatches each download to the correct destination automatically.
Downloads are organized instantly using simple rules such as website, file type, keyword, or project folder.
-----------------------------------------------------
How Download Dispatcher Works
-----------------------------------------------------
Download Dispatcher builds a routing path for every download using configurable layers.
Each layer adds a folder segment until the final destination is created.
Example routing path:
Downloads → Work → ABC Company → PDFs → report.pdf
Another example using keywords:
Downloads → Work → Weekly Reports → weekly_report.xlsx
Every download is dispatched through these routing layers automatically.
-----------------------------------------------------
Powerful Multi-Layer Routing
-----------------------------------------------------
Combine multiple routing layers to create a structured folder system:
• Category / workspace folders
• Domain-based routing (website source)
• File type organization
• Date-based folders
• Filename keyword routing
You decide how downloads are organized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Automatic Download Routing by Website
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Route downloads automatically based on where they came from.
Example:
google.com → Work/Google
github.com → Work/GitHub
dropbox.com → Work/Dropbox
Organize Downloads by File Type
Automatically group files by extension:
.pdf → PDFs
.xlsx → Spreadsheets
.zip → Archives
.jpg / .png → Images
-----------------------------------------------------
Filename Keyword Routing
-----------------------------------------------------
Route downloads when filenames contain specific keywords.
Example rules:
invoice → Work/Invoices
weekly → Work/Weekly Reports
report → Work/Reports
Keyword rules can override other routing layers when needed.
----------------------------------------------------------
Category & Workspace Organization
----------------------------------------------------------
Use categories to quickly switch download destinations for projects, clients, or workflows.
Examples:
Work
Work/Clients/ABC
Personal
Research
Taxes
Nested folders are fully supported, allowing you to build a structured workspace.
-----------------------------------------------------
Explainable Download Routing
-----------------------------------------------------
Download Dispatcher includes a Recent Dispatches view that shows:
• Where the file was routed
• Why it was routed there
• Which routing rules were applied
You always know exactly how each download was dispatched.
Profiles for Multiple Computers
Export and import routing profiles to keep download organization consistent across devices.
Profiles can be stored in a shared folder such as:
Dropbox
OneDrive
Google Drive
This allows you to use the same routing setup across multiple computers.
