Folder Trigger For Modified Files

Ouch. As of Sept. 2023, Hazel is $42 for a personal license.

In lieu of that, does anyone have any ideas for in effect creating an Observer in KBM that will trigger when any file in a specific folder is changed?

I use and highly recommend Hazel. It's developed by another indie developer, Paul Kim, who also has a long and reliable track record.

If you want to roll your own, here are two possibilities:

• macos - Monitor a folder for changes, and run a command when a change is detected - Ask Different

• How to Trigger Any Action When a File or Folder Changes on Macos on the Cheap

I've tried neither, but I have used launchd (employed in the second) several times.
