Hey everyone! I built Tidey because my desktop was always a disaster. Screenshots, random downloads, files I saved "just for now" 3 months ago... you know how it goes. So I made this simple menubar app. It shows you files that have been sitting on your Desktop or Downloads folder for a while, and you just pick: delete it or keep it. Thats it. No fancy features, no AI, no subscription. Just a quick way to go through your files and finally clean things up. Would love to hear what you think!

No tracking.
