This Keyboard Maestro macro creates numbered subfolders with the client's name plus today's date inside the project folder with the client's name.

Files that are selected on the Desktop will then be moved to the newly created project folder.

If you already created a project folder for the client that day, a new project folder will be created with a higher number at the end.

You can download the macro here.

BTW: Instead of typing the client’s name, you could insert it via a Prompt with list action.

Perhaps I’ll add that later.
