About Tidy

Tidy is a Mac menu bar file organization tool that reads a file's actual content and gives it a name that truly describes it. Desktop screenshots are automatically archived and renamed by content using on-device AI and OCR, then moved to the Trash when no longer needed; mounted .dmg files are detected automatically, the disk is ejected, and the installer is moved to the Trash. It includes an instant local index, so you can search the content of scanned PDFs and images from a remembered phrase, including scanned PDFs that Spotlight cannot OCR. All processing happens on your machine: no account, no server, no telemetry. Tidy never directly deletes files; it only archives them or moves them to the Trash, so every action is reversible. It processes only new files, leaving existing files unchanged.

Best for

Mac users with many desktop screenshots who want automatic organization
Office workers and researchers who need to search scanned PDFs and image materials
Users who care about privacy and want file processing to stay on their machine
Users who frequently download and mount .dmg installers
