Take any disorganized folder and sort it all into tidy subfolders. Use the 15+ built-in rules, or create powerful custom ones to organize your files just the way you want. Folder Tidy uses all available CPU cores for the fastest possible tidying, and can handle TBs of files.

With one click Folder Tidy will sort the files from the messy folder. Imagine having all the chaos sorted into tidy subfolders, such as Pictures, Music, Spreadsheets, Source Code, etc. Or with the custom rules, do things like move all pictures older than 2015 into "Old Pictures", or move all Word documents that have the Finder tag of "Work" into "My Office Work Files".

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.

Featured on the Mac App Store (2019 Story), Macworld (2014 GEM), The Sweet Bits, Softpedia, Mac360, MakeUseOf and 9/10 on Mac.AppStorm.

Version 2.7.4
  • [New] Added Internet Access Policy (IAP) for Little Snitch that describes every connection Folder Tidy can possibly make.
  • [Fixed] Issue where files that were packages (ex: Logic Pro X) would get skipped.
  • [Fixed] Issue where the keyboard delete key wouldn't work for removing custom rules.
  • [Fixed] Issue with the undo feature where it wouldn't be able to move certain files back.
  • [Fixed] Issue where some folders created in the destination wouldn't be removed after an undo.
  • [Fixed] Issue with incorrect rules being enabled if they were rearranged.
Version 2.7.3
  • [New] Undo feature now runs in the background, with an updated progress.
  • [New] Confirmation dialog shown when quitting to make sure it's clear that the undo is only available while the app is open.
  • [New] Both the source and destination folder path controls are drag/drop enabled for choosing the folders.
  • [New] Minor touch ups to the UX to be both cleaner and clearer.
  • [Fixed] Issue where is was possible in some rare cases that the undo feature wouldn't be able to put all the files back.
  • [Fixed] Issue with the items in the Ignore list not being visible.
  • [Fixed] Issue where in some rare cases files wouldn't be ignored properly if there were multiple folders with the same prefix.
  • [Fixed] Issue where the "Ignore Bundles / Packages" feature wouldn't always work properly.
  • [Fixed] Potential crash when using "name contains" in a custom rule. If this happened, please edit the rule and close it to re-save in the proper format.
  • [Updated] Paddle framework to 3.0.40, which resolves a potential crash when showing the trial window.
Version 2.7.2

  • [New] Overall improvements with the reliability of determining file types and moving them to the correct sub folders.
  • [New] Option to skip traversing inside bundles (ex: frameworks) when enumerating a folder.
  • [New] Added crash reporting in the unlikely event something goes wrong.
  • [Fixed] Issue where some developer files (ex: storyboards, xcworkspace, etc) would be incorrectly moved to Documents.
  • [Fixed] Issue where some iWork files would be incorrectly moved to Archives or Documents.
  • [Fixed] Issue where some audio files would be incorrectly moved to Movies.
  • [Fixed] Issue where folders could get moved first before the contents were sorted properly.
  • [Fixed] Issue where the number of of tidied files could be incorrect, depending on the timing.
  • [Fixed] Issue where the number of tidied files wouldn't get reset if a new tidy was chosen.
  • [Fixed] Issue where if an error was displayed during a tidy, that particular rule would not finish.
  • [Fixed] Issue where if an error dialog was displayed during a tidy it would be behind the progress window.
  • [Fixed] Updated Paddle service to 3.0.29 which resolves a number of their bugs related to licensing and purchasing.

  • [New] About window now shows the email and license key for easy access.

  • [Fixed] Issue where the progress window could become hidden.
