Key quotes
· 3 pulledI 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.
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.
No fancy features, no AI, no subscription. Just a quick way to go through your files and finally clean things up.
