Putzen
Tinder-style cleanup app for your Mac
Putzen helps you to clear clutter on your Mac, one decision at a time. It's a Mac app that automatically groups duplicate files, files added over six months ago, and the rest.

No account, no uploads, no subscription. Try the interactive website demo before buying.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Aniket, the maker of Putzen. Every few weeks, my Downloads folder and Desktop fill up with duplicate downloads, old documents, and files I no longer need. Finding them is only part of the problem. Deciding what to keep is where I get stuck. I wanted cleanup to feel less like sorting through a spreadsheet. So I borrowed the one-at-a-time decision mechanism from Tinder and built Putzen. Pick your folders, and Putzen automatically scans and groups the files into duplicates, files added over six months ago, and remaining ones. Preview each file, then choose Keep or Move to Trash with buttons or arrow keys. There’s also a grid for reviewing several files together. Putzen doesn’t choose what to delete for you or empty your Trash. Undo and Restore help you recover from a wrong decision, and everything runs locally on your Mac. Four people have bought Putzen so far. My first paying customer asked for file sizes on duplicate previews and an option to reverse the Keep and Trash arrow keys. Both are now available. Getting that feedback and shipping the changes has been my favourite part. It’s currently €5 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription. It requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 15 or later. You can try the interactive demo with sample files on the website before buying. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear which part makes cleanup easier and where you still hesitate. I’m here for questions and feedback. Fun fact: Putzen in German means "to clean". Thanks for taking a look! Aniket
