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 5 years in a row: Tidy Up Your Mac (2022 & 2023), 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, MakeUseOf and got 9/10 on Mac.AppStorm.
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.
Folder Tidy can tidy up any folder, whether it's the Desktop, Documents, Downloads folders or one that's just full of unorganized files.
Simply choose which folder to tidy and another to sort the files into, and it will do the rest.
Folder Tidy is incredibly fast because it uses Grand Central Dispatch (GCD), a technology in macOS that allows the use of every single CPU core.
During a tidy, the only limiting factor is the speed of the drive.
On a 2018 MacBook Pro (15 inch), it's able to move over 95,000 files to their sorted subfolders in 30 seconds.
From the first launch, there's nothing to configure for how the files should be sorted, or what goes where.
Enabled by default are 16 built-in rules to sort the most common files types, such as:
Use custom rules to create powerful ways of sorting files. They are based on predicates, just like the search in the Finder. Use multiple conditions on the file properties, such as "Kind", "Created Date", "Size", etc.
For example: Move all files that have the extension "docx" and contain the word "invoice" and was last modified in the last 365 days to a folder labelled "Invoices from 2020".
Each custom rule is saved and can be enabled/disabled for any tidy.
The option to undo the tidy is always available whether it's right after finishing or days later in the Undo list.
All files will be moved out of the sorted folder and returned back to their original locations. This allows experimenting with different rules and options until the tidy is exactly the way that's needed.

Dark or light mode, it doesn't mater - Folder Tidy looks great from macOS 10.11 El Capitan all the way up to macOS 12 Monterey, and now macOS 13 Ventura.
It's also now a Universal Binary, meaning it runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon based Macs for maximum speed and efficiency.
In addition, on 10.15 Catalina and above, it's notarized (scanned for malware) by Apple, and uses the Hardened Runtime to ensure it's the original from Tunabelly Software and hasn't been tampered with.
