A tiny Mac app that helps you clean your desktop mess
Hey everyone! I built Tidey because my desktop was always a disaster. Screenshots, random downloads, files I saved "just for now" 3 months ago... you know how it goes. So I made this simple menubar app. It shows you files that have been sitting on your Desktop or Downloads folder for a while, and you just pick: delete it or keep it. Thats it. No fancy features, no AI, no subscription. Just a quick way to go through your files and finally clean things up. Would love to hear what you think!
Hey! Im the maker.
Built this for myself first because I was tired of having 200+ files on my desktop and never dealing with them. Tried other apps but they were either too complicated or wanted monthly payments for something this simple.
Tidey just sits in your menubar, reminds you when stuff piles up, and lets you quickly decide what to do with each file. Takes like 2 minutes.
Happy to answer any questions!
