Requires macOS 10.13 or higher

Take any messy folder and have all the files sorted into tidy subfolders. It can be based on their file type (photos, presentations, PDFs, etc) using the 15+ built-in rules, or create powerful custom rules.

Folder Tidy takes advantage of all available CPU cores so sorting is only limited by disk speed. With a modern SSD drive, it can sort 10,000 files in a matter of seconds. It is also a Universal Binary which means it runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel for the fastest speed possible.

If it turns out the tidy wasn't exactly the way you wanted it, no problem, just hit the Undo button and everything will be moved back to their original locations. It even works after quitting with a full list of old tidies with the ability to put back all the files anytime.

Folder Tidy has been featured by Apple on the App Store 6 years in a row: Tidy Up Your Mac (2022, 2023 & 2024), New Year, New You (2021), Tidy Up Your Mac (2020) & Folders That Spark Joy (2019), plus other sites such as Macworld (2014 GEM), The Sweet Bits, Softpedia, Mac360, and MakeUseOf.

Security is also important, which is why Folder Tidy is notarized by Apple, uses the Hardened Runtime, and supports the Internet Access Policy for Little Snitch.

Organize Any Folder

Folder Tidy can streamline any folder, whether it’s the Desktop, Documents, Downloads, or any folder with unorganized files.

Just select the folder to tidy and the destination folder for sorting, and Folder Tidy takes care of the rest.

Lightning Fast

Folder Tidy excels in speed by leveraging Grand Central Dispatch (GCD), a macOS technology that utilizes all available CPU cores.

During a tidy, the only limiting factor is the drive’s speed. For models with a built-in SSD, this results in incredible performance.

On a 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro, it can move over 8,500 files to their sorted subfolders in just four seconds.

Effortless Organization

From the moment of launch, there’s no need to configure how files should be sorted or where they should go.

By default, 19 built-in rules are enabled to categorize the most common file types, including:

• Images
• Movies
• PDFs
• Spreadsheets
• Word Processing documents
• And 14 more

This ensures files are organized right from the start.

Custom Rules

Create powerful, customized sorting rules based on predicates, similar to Finder’s search functionality. Use multiple conditions on file properties such as "Kind", "Created Date", "Size" and more.

For example: Move all files with the extension “docx” that contain the word “invoice” and were last modified in the past year to a folder labeled “Invoices.”

Each custom rule is saved and can be enabled or disabled for any tidy.

Undo

The option to undo the tidy is always available, whether it’s immediately after finishing or days later from the Undo list.

All files, including hidden ones inside the folders, will be moved out of the sorted folder and returned to their original locations. This allows for experimenting with different rules and options until the tidy is just right.

Undo immediately after tidy

Folder Tidy fully undoes a tidy by moving back over 8,500 files, including hidden ones, to their original locations in just a few seconds.

Undo later

Undo previous tidies anytime
