About TidyFile

Your Downloads folder shouldn't be a job.

TidyFile started from a Downloads folder with thousands of files in it and no time to sort them. It's a small, focused app: you tell it once where things belong, and it keeps them there, quietly, for good.

How it works

Simple to set up, effortless to keep.

  1. 1

    Add a rule

    Pick a ready-made rule or describe your own: “every PDF with invoice in the name goes to Invoices/2026”.

  2. 2

    Preview it on your existing files

    See exactly where every file would go before anything moves. No account needed for this part.

  3. 3

    Start your free trial

    Create an account in the app for 7 days free, then decide whether it's worth keeping.

  4. 4

    Let it run

    TidyFile sits quietly in the background and sorts new files the moment they arrive.

  5. 5

    Change your mind any time

    Every move is logged, and moves and renames can be undone with one click.

What we care about

Local by design

Your files are sorted on your computer and never uploaded. We store your account and a backup of your rules, nothing more.

Safe by default

Previews before changes, undo after them, and “delete” means the Recycle Bin or Trash, never gone for good.

Simple on purpose

No scripting, no regex, no 40-tab settings window. If a rule takes more than a minute to set up, that's our bug.
