Autopilot

Watched-folder cleanup in Disk Housekeeper, still behind a preview. In Sentinely, the memory fixes you have approved.

Autopilot watches a folder you choose and can clean it when the rules match. The name suggests a schedule that runs unattended. The behavior we describe is narrower: a scope you set, a preview you see, and removals that go to the Trash by default.

A low-space alert does not silently trigger it. If you want the setup steps, use Set up Autopilot for a watched folder. If you want the distinction from Auto-Sort, read both glossary entries before you turn either on.

Sentinely uses the same name for a different job. With Pro, Autopilot runs the kinds of memory fixes you approve, such as unloading idle Ollama models or stopping MCP servers left behind by closed apps, and only after memory pressure has stayed high, never on a brief spike. It only stops helpers you have already stopped once by hand, never quits apps, keeps daily limits and cool-downs, and tells you after every action.
