Takeover

Move a folder anywhere, leave a symlink behind.

Mac app · Folder relocation via symlinks


What it does

For when a folder needs to live somewhere else, but everything still expects to find it where it was.

Named link profiles

Save a "from" and "to" folder pair under a name — Fonts, Audio Plugins, Dropbox — and reuse it anytime instead of remembering paths.

Folder picker, no typing paths

Browse to the source and destination folders with a native picker instead of hand-typing filesystem paths.

One-click run

Run a saved profile to create the symlink instantly — the origin path now quietly points at wherever you moved things.

Safe re-linking

Re-running a profile detects an existing link at the source and recreates it cleanly, instead of nesting links inside links.

Starter presets

Ships with sample profiles like Fonts and Audio Plugins so you can see the shape of a profile before building your own.

Everything stays local

Profiles are stored on-device — no account, no sync service, nothing leaves your Mac.
