It automatically files away my scanned documents, sorts them into folders by date. It keeps my desktop and "working" folders clean so that I don't have a constantly expanding load of files on in either place. Staying neat helps me to stay productive. I like its potential toward automation and how you can trick it into doing something based on the contents of a file - scan the file to see whether a certain phrase appears, and then give it an if / then "to do" item. **What do you dislike about Hazel?** There's a bit of a learning curve to really get into it, and in order to make that learning curve you almost have to seek out and pay for third party help from someone like MacSparky or AsianEfficiency or elsewhere. Otherwise, it's pretty great. Even if you don't do anything with it other than organizing your desktop or your "working" contents folder (or downloads folder, or anything like that), it's still useful and worth the price. **Recommendations to others considering Hazel:** Honestly, you're probably going to need to read up on the uses of the product before it becomes genuinely useful to you. There are some free resources to do this. you might also consider the hazel subreddit, or mac power users communities. **What problems is Hazel solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cleanliness and organization on the computer!!! ## Hazel Discussions - [What does Hazel do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-does-hazel-do) - [What is Hazel app for Mac?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-hazel-app-for-mac) - [How do you use the Hazel app?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-use-the-hazel-app) - [View Hazel pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/hazel/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-24+22%3A12%3A04+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=8dd314a5-e60d-469a-9f55-4950a2734159&secure%5Btoken%5D=069416884243ef998779bbfcfd240794c443d287f976910a94cf04d7bd5dbcf6&format=llm_user) ## Hazel Features **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - Generative AI **Additional Functionality** - Onboarding - Individual Development Plans - Career Development - Approval Process Control - Customizable Branding - AI Copilot - Reminders - Customizable Templates - Employee Profiles - Employee Engagement - Learning & Development - API **Platform Basics** - Performance Benchmarking - Reporting & Dashboards - Interoperability **Platform Content** - Employee Pulse Surveys - Survey Customization - Goal and Challenge Creation - Science-based templates - Customizable Templates **Platform Additional Functionality** - Employee Segmenting - Goal and Challenge Creation - Peer Recognition - Social Feedback Portal - Employee Portal - Surveys & Feedback - Peer-to-Peer Recognition **Additional Functionality** - Real-Time Reporting - Customizable Branding - Rewards Program - Reporting/Analytics - Learning & Development - Social Engagement - Chat/Messaging - Customizable Questions - Customizable Reports - Commenting/Notes - Engagement Tracking - Generative AI - Employee Profiles - Question Library - Gamification - Real-Time Data - Performance Metrics - Scoring - AI Copilot - Offboarding - Visual Analytics - Employee Onboarding - Alerts/Notifications - Employee Database **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Activity Dashboard - Activity Dashboard - Mobile Access - Activity Dashboard - Training Management - Goal Management - Feedback Management - Action Management - Mobile Access - Activity Dashboard - Benefits Dashboard - Activity Dashboard - Feedback Management - Performance Management - Recruitment Management - Compliance Management - Training Management - Calendar Management - Employee Management - Orientation Workflow Management - Task Management - HR Management - Help Desk Management - Mobile Access - Payroll Management - Document Management - Job Description Management - Social Media Integration - Mobile Access - Activity Dashboard - Third-Party Integrations - Assessment Management - Social Media Integration - Activity Dashboard - Mobile Access - Third-Party Integration - Initiative Management - Workflow Management - Community Management - Employee Referral Management - Candidate Management - Workflow Management - Communication Management - Advertising Management - Application Management - Email Management - Job Management - Discount Management - Pipeline Management - File Management - Job Management - Data Storage Management - Compensation Management - Employee Management - Job Application Management - HR Management - Competency Management - Performance Management - Compliance Management - Job Description Management - Evaluation Management - User Management - Role-Based Permissions - Third-Party Integrations ## Top Hazel Alternatives - [Lattice](https://www.g2.com/products/lattice-lattice/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (3,956 reviews) - [Vantage Circle](https://www.g2.com/products/vantage-circle/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (10,676 reviews) - [Achievers](https://www.g2.com/products/achievers/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (9,388 reviews)
