The file organizer
your Mac was missing.

Downloads, Desktop and screenshots sorted into the right folders automatically, from a tiny menu bar app. Set your rules once, preview every change, undo anything.

Made for the Mac.

Lives in the menu bar

TidyFile opens at login and works quietly in the background. Close the window and it keeps sorting.

Screenshots, handled

Send every “Screenshot …” off your Desktop into dated folders the moment you take it.

Safe by default

See exactly where each file will go first. Moves can be undone, and deletes go to the Trash, never straight to gone.

Apple silicon and Intel

Native builds for M-series and Intel Macs, macOS 10.15 or later.

Your files stay on your Mac

All sorting happens locally. Nothing is uploaded, ever.

Also on Windows

One subscription covers both, and rules made on a PC work on your Mac.

Guides

FAQ

Questions before you download?

Which Macs does TidyFile run on?+

Macs with Apple silicon (M1 and later) and Intel Macs running macOS 10.15 Catalina or later.

Why does macOS ask me to allow TidyFile?+

macOS shows this for apps from independent developers that aren't distributed through the App Store. Choose Open Anyway in System Settings → Privacy & Security once and it won't ask again.

Does TidyFile need access to my files?+

Only the folders your rules watch, such as Downloads or Desktop. macOS asks you to allow that the first time. Nothing is uploaded.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes: 7 days free, and no card is needed to start it.
