Hooks, facts, screenshots and the icon — use any of it, no permission needed. Questions, a review copy, or a screenshot in another language or dark mode: hola@tidymacapp.com. I reply fast, usually within the day.
Tidy names your files by what's inside them — on-device OCR turns "Screenshot 2026-08-02 at 11.20.13.png" into "invoice-mueller-gmbh.png".
It searches text inside scanned PDFs — which macOS never OCRs for Spotlight — and inside screenshots, with its own instant local index (Spotlight's image indexing is partial and can lag by days).
It watches how you file and proposes the rule — one click creates it, one dismisses it forever. It never acts on its own, never deletes, and every run undoes in one click.
A menu bar app that keeps Downloads, the Desktop and any folder you choose organised — on their own.

Vision OCR and Apple's models run on-device. No files, names or contents are ever uploaded — the only network call is the Sparkle update check against our own domain.

Tidy keeps Downloads and the Desktop organised without you thinking about it. It reads what is written inside images and PDFs with Apple's on-device OCR and names each file from its contents; the same local index lets you search inside scanned documents, where Spotlight finds nothing. It learns how you file and proposes rules — never acting on its own. It never deletes anything, previews every move in dry-run mode, and any run undoes in one click. Everything runs on the device. $9 once, no subscription. Made by a solo developer in Santiago, Chile.
