Quick triage, clean desktop
Watch how Tidey helps you go through files one by one. Delete, Keep, or Skip—it takes seconds per file.
We've all been here
Screenshots, downloads, files you saved "temporarily" months ago. They pile up. They create chaos. They waste space.
The fix isn't complicated. You just need a quick way to go through those files and decide what to do with them.
Dead Simple
Two choices. That's it.
Tidey shows you files that have been sitting in Desktop or Downloads for a while. For each file, you make one simple decision: delete it or keep it.
Delete
Don't need it? Send it straight to Trash. One click, gone.
Keep
Worth keeping? Move it to an organized folder where it belongs.
Quietly watches
Tidey monitors your Desktop and Downloads folders in the background. No setup, no configuration.
