Tidy for Mac

Menu bar app that keeps Downloads and the Desktop organised on their own, naming files by reading what's inside them.
Tidy keeps Downloads and the Desktop organised without you thinking about it.
What separates it from other file organisers: it reads what is written inside your images and PDFs with Apple's on-device OCR and names each file from its contents. A screenshot of an invoice becomes "invoice-mueller-gmbh-03-07-2026.png" instead of a timestamp. That same local index lets you search inside scanned documents, where Spotlight finds nothing because there is no text layer to index.
It also learns how you file. Move three files to the same place by hand and Tidy proposes the rule — one click creates it, one dismisses it forever. It never writes a rule on its own.
Everything else it does, it does quietly: archives Desktop screenshots, ejects mounted .dmg volumes and bins the leftover installer, sorts Downloads with your rules, groups screenshots by the app they came from, warns you when a scanned ID or a card number is sitting in plain sight, and flags files like "Invoice.pdf.app" that look like documents but run code.
Everything runs on the device, including the Apple Intelligence parts. No account, no server, no telemetry, nothing uploaded.
And it is built to be trusted with your files: it never deletes anything, it only touches files created after you install it, there is a dry-run mode that previews every move before it happens, and any run undoes in one click.
Also: settings damaged from outside are now backed up instead of silently reset, and several strings read more naturally in English and German.
