Hazel: Custom Rule Limitations Wed Dec 17, 2025 5:50 am • by jameswilson
Hi everyone, I’m experimenting with Hazel to organize my files more efficiently. I noticed that when creating multiple nested rules with complex conditions, some rules seem to not trigger as expected. Has anyone encountered a limit to how many conditions or nested rules Hazel can reliably handle? If so, what’s the best way to structure rules to avoid conflicts or missed triggers?

I think you need to post more specifics about your rules. Also, go through the troubleshooting guide here: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/hazel-tro ... ing-guide/
