Auto Folder App Info for macOS
Innovative concept for files and/or folders for individual apps. Add apps into a main list, then attach files/folders to the app. When a chosen app's UI is focused the built-in menubar list dynamically updates to show just the files/folders for the foreground app. Double-clicking on a menubar's item will launch the file/folder. Optionally toggling the Auto Selection button will automatically switch Auto Folder's UI to show the appropriate files/folders for the focused app.

1. Startup Auto Folder app.
2. Wait for apps to be listed in bottom left navigation, under 'Apps'.
3. Using mouse cursor, hover above an app you want to add a file/folder to. Click the + button that appears.
4. The chosen app will relocate to the upper left navigation area, under 'App Folders'.
5. The chosen app's main view should automatically load.
6. Using the main view's + toolbar button, add desired files/folders to app.
7. The right 'trash' button deletes the file/folder line item. Holding option key and clicking delete button will also bypass delete confirmation.
8. Click+drag by a file/folder icon/text to reorder items.
9. When a chosen app is focused on, the Auto Folder menubar (along system menubar in upper right) will dynamically update to show appropriate files/folders for focused app. For example if you added a file/folder for the 'Calendar' app, when clicking on Calendar and bringing UI to the foreground, the menubar will update to show files/folders specified for the Calendar app.
10. Auto Selection can be toggled from the Auto Folder's upper left toolbar. This function will automatically select an app and load an app's files/folders in the Auto Folder's window when that specific app is focused on.
