TidyMyDesktop

TidyMyDesktop is a lifesaver for any Mac user who struggles with a cluttered desktop. It's designed to automatically organize your files, which is like finding the holy grail of digital tidiness!

Automatically Organize Your Files

This handy macOS application moves your files to a central storage spot on your hard drive and sorts them into categories. How cool is that? Once you fire up TidyMyDesktop, you can click the "Tidy Desktop Now" button at the bottom of the app's status bar menu to quickly clean up your desktop.

Set It and Forget It!

If you want TidyMyDesktop to take care of things automatically, you can set it up to clean your desktop every day at a time you choose in the Preferences window. This way, you can just sit back and relax while it does all the hard work.

Easy Access and Categories

After cleaning, TidyMyDesktop organizes everything into six neat categories stored in the com.Fireebok.tidymydesktop folder in your Documents directory. You can access them easily through its user-friendly menu bar interface.

Customize Your Storage Location

If you prefer storing files somewhere else on your Mac, no problem! Just head over to TidyMyDesktop's Preferences window to change it.

Find Your Files Quickly

Add new documents to your desktop, and just repeat the tidy-up process. With TidyMyDesktop's elegant status bar, finding any of your files takes just seconds! Plus, if you're looking for something specific, use the search field at the top. You can also copy, open, restore files back to your desktop, locate them in Finder or delete them using right-click options.

A Few Bumps in the Road

Now, here's where things get a little tricky. While it does its job well by organizing files into those six categories, there's a bug that causes it to crash when clicking on the Image category. Also, keep in mind that it adds an icon to your dock that can't be removed—so it's not super discreet.

Occasional Freezing Issues

The app might freeze now and then without showing errors. The only way we've found to fix this is by force quitting it a few times until everything works smoothly again.

Your New Best Friend for Desktop Organization!

All said and done, TidyMyDesktop is perfect for anyone who tends to forget or never has time to tidy up their desktop and organize their files. Just remember that while it's super helpful right now, you might face some hiccups along the way!
