Everyday utilities

Small tools for the little annoyances of every day.

Tidlet builds focused utilities that each fix one everyday problem, then get out of your way. We're starting on the Mac, and more platforms will follow.

The first two Tidlet tools

We're starting with two Mac apps for the mess that piles up on any computer. DeskClean is out now and ShotName is next. More tools, and other platforms, come after.

DeskClean

Available now · $5

Clean up your desktop with one click.

DeskClean looks at the loose files on your Mac's desktop and sorts them by type. Out of the box, images, documents and installers each get their own folder. You can send any file type to any folder you like. Nothing gets deleted. It just gets put away.

  • Sorts images, documents and installers into their own folders
  • Lets you choose the folder for each file type
  • Moves files without deleting or renaming them
  • Puts every file back with one undo

macOS 13 or later · Apple silicon & Intel · 0.7 MB · one key per Mac · 14-day refunds

First launch: macOS will say it can't verify DeskClean. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only need to do this once.

ShotName

In development

Screenshot names you can actually search for.

macOS names every screenshot after the moment you took it. ShotName reads the text in each new screenshot on your Mac and renames the file after what's in it, so you can find last week's invoice by typing "invoice" into Spotlight.

  • Renames new screenshots automatically as you take them
  • Reads text on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.
  • Keeps the original name, so you can switch back

Approach

How every Tidlet tool works

One job each

Every tool fixes a single everyday annoyance. No dashboards, no accounts, and no settings screens you'll never open.

Your stuff stays yours

Tools do their work on your device. Your files and screenshots are never uploaded to make them work.

Easy to undo

You can put back anything a tool moves or renames, so it's safe to try.
