Watchtower overview

Watchtower is a lightweight menu bar utility that monitors the directories you define for certain file events such as when a file is created, moved to the Trash, is modified, renamed, deleted, or changes ownership and then triggering an action like logging the event, displaying an Alert, launching an app, or playing a sound. You can also use it to detect the mounting and unmounting of external drives.
