Managing Files

Once Statuz opens, it copies photos to its own storage. You can safely delete files from the export folder after:

  • Saving as draft (Cmd+S)
  • Scheduling for later
  • Posting immediately

Statuz keeps its own copies and cleans them up after posting.

This automation works with any app that exports files:

  • Apple Photos - Export selections
  • Capture One - Session exports
  • Final Cut Pro - Video exports
  • Screenshot Tools - Auto-share screenshots
