This is a really great idea for people to be able to organise their download folders. Will give it a try :)

I got a code. I like this. It will work well for new downloads, but my already cluttered downloads folder will still need to be manually organized

This is a nit-pick really, but I'd like to see it organize on first run rather than on first download. Unfortunately for me disk I/O can be a bottleneck on this old machine. It slowed down a rather large download while it shuffled things around and unpacked them.

Scrolling on the site doesn't appear to work on Chrome (Mavericks, OSX 10.9.4). Have to use the nipples on the right to force a scroll.

Doesn't work on Chromium in Debian Jessie either

Don't have a promo code but I just wanted to say this is a really simple idea that makes so much sense. A very nice optimization.

It'd be nice if you had the cost on your page instead of just a link to the Apple Store. I dislike this trend.

I don't know if it does this, but it's at least possible for the app to retroactively categorize based on metadata added by your browser. Right-click, "Get info", "More info" should tell you the page the file was downloaded from.

So does it organize all already existing files as well?

Thanks. Downloading now to compare with Hazel for keeping my Downloads folder organized.

Looks like a less powerful Hazel, or perhaps just more user friendly / prettier GUI. Given that I'm a long time Hazel user and have 40+ rules, I can't see a reason to switch -- there's no compelling difference
