Your Mac tidies itself: screenshots, installers, Downloads
Tidy lives in your menu bar and handles three chores you keep doing by hand. It archives new Desktop screenshots, renaming them from their content with on-device OCR — "Screenshot 14.22.10.png" becomes "invoice-march.png". It ejects thedmg you mounted and trashes the installer. It sorts new Downloads by type, with rules you write in plain English. Apple Intelligence builds them on-device, so nothing leaves your Mac. Only touches new files. Never deletes. $9 once, no subscription.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built Tidy because three things kept eating my Desktop: screenshots, .dmg installers, and a Downloads folder I'd given up on.
Funny thing happened while testing the checkout. I bought my own app, downloaded the .dmg, dragged it to Applications, opened it — then went looking for the installer to clean up.
It was already in the Trash. Tidy had ejected the disk and trashed its own installer. Nobody told it to. That's just what it does.
Two rules I set for myself:
· Only touches NEW files — never your backlog.
· Never deletes. Archives or trashes, always reversible.
The plain-English rules run on Apple Intelligence, on-device — nothing leaves your Mac. That's also why it's $9 once, not a subscription: my marginal cost per user is zero.
Happy to answer anything.
